My current target is to promote our R&D activities in world class level through supervising PhD, Master thesis and Master coursework projects. Besides publishing in high impact Journals, another goal is to reach our mass people around through our research outcomes and commercialization. Therefore, I will concentrate on reaching to people by any of my developed knowledge/patent/product from our research work as shown in the carton below. My group is actively working on to develop new functional organic/inorganic materials for various applications such as thin film solar cells (e.g. Organic Photovoltaics, Perovskite solar cells, Dye-sensitized solar cells, Inorganic/Organic hybrid solar cells, Quantum dots based bulk heterojunction solar cells, CdTe, CZTS etc), Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs), Organic-Field Effect Transistors (OFETs), Light-emitting OFETs, RFID tags and Biomedical applications. I will keep strong ties with many Japanese as well as western universities to get best help from them in ways need to upgrade our level in all aspects.
The value of materials research is becoming more attractive in several realistic applications. To success of this initiative in the area of nanotechnology, renewable energy and biotechnology, and to keep global competitiveness I have been collaborating with following distinguished scientist and expatriates in USA, Japan, Canada, Australia, UK etc.
