Title: The New Adventures of Lead Paint: Applications from Solar Cells to Mammography

Abstract: 

Lead halide perovskites have emerged as an exciting new class of semiconductor that combines many of the best properties of traditional inorganic materials (e.g., low exciton binding energy and high charge carrier mobilities) with solution processability. Ink-based coating and printing methods (e.g., spin, blade, spray, and slot-die coating) have now been used to produce a wide variety of optoelectronic devices based on lead halide perovskites, and some devices (i.e., perovskite solar cells) are in the early stages of commercialization. In this talk, I will give an overview of my research program, with a specific emphasis on our work in the area of lead halide perovskites.
