Areas of Focus

Research in the Coffer Group is broadly focused on multifunctional semiconducting nanostructures relevant to health and energy. In both classes, the ability to manipulate surface chemistry is a key component of the science we do. Current materials of interest include:

• Silicon nanotubes (SiNTs), porous silicon particles (pSi), and associated composites with biocompatible polymers for tissue engineering and drug delivery.
• Porous nanomaterial templates for a class of photovoltaic / optoelectronic materials known as metal halide perovskites
