I research techniques to integrate novel functions into organic-based films and devices that are difficult, if not impossible, to achieve otherwise.
Presenting my research at the FOE symposium challenged me to think about my work from a new perspective so that I could share its excitement with people from vastly different research areas. The reflection required to accomplish this goal also clarified my own appreciation for the impact of my work. The opportunity to participate in such a gathering was invaluable, and I benefited as a researcher and a communicator.
