Esther Hung

My research involves using X-ray techniques to study organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides, for piezoelectric and photovoltaic applications, with the focus of using atomic-level, fundamental materials characterisation to understand macroscopic material properties.

Research interests

piezoelectricity

hybrid lead-free materials
