Materials Chemistry. Inorganic chemistry -- Low-dimensional nanoscopicbuilding used to assemble complex architectures with novel electronic and photonic properties. Development of suitable chemical strategies for the rational synthesis, organization and integration of these nanoscale building blocks. Developing new synthetic approaches and understanding the fundamental issues of structural assembly and growth to enable the rational control of material composition, micro/nano- structure, property and functionality.
