• Spin-orbital-charge dynamics of strongly correlated electrons via tuning the dimensionality in complex-oxide hetero-interfaces/hetero-structures, and their device applications.
• Controlled growth of atomic-scale oxide hybrid structures and thin films.
• Advanced characterizations using infrared/optical spectroscopic ellipsometry, inelastic light (Raman) scattering, and resonant x-ray spectroscopy/scattering.
• Materials properties in extreme enviroments such as high temperatures.
• Fundamental understanding of physical properties of energy devices such as solid state Li-ion batteries.
