Adjunct Professor, Department of Physics, Lakehead University, Thunder Bay, Canada

Research interests

Microscopic modelling of transport, optical, electronic, and structural properties of disordered semiconductors for medical imaging detectors. Particular topics include:

atomic structure of compound and amorphous semiconductors;
defects and impurities in crystals and interaction between them;
electronic and vibrational states in disordered solids;
density functional theory and empirical force-field potentials;
semiconductor surfaces: structure and energetics;
electronic transport in disordered low-mobility semiconductors: hopping, multiple trapping, diffusion, incl. high-field effects, such as impact ionization;
charge carriers: generation, recombination, lifetime, and trapping;
optical properties of low-dimensional nanostructures: quantum wells and quantum dots.
