Walter Research Group<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We are interested in the synthesis and development of new organic dye materials for sensing<\/a> and molecular electronics<\/a>. Our work also involves applications related to photocatalysis and materials for photovoltaic or solar fuels applications<\/a>. Our work spans materials research, organic synthesis, hybrid organic\/inorganic systems, and nanoscience.<\/span> We are particularly interested in enhancing the light harvesting and energy (exciton) transfer mechanisms found in porphyrin thin films<\/a> and organic electrochromic materials. We are also very active with outreach programs including a new Polymer Seminconductor Outreach Kit<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
