Geetu Sharma

Dr. Geetu Sharma is a Lecturer in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Her research bridges nanotechnology, materials science, and applied physics, with a focus on functional interfaces and optoelectronic applications. She investigates molecular engineering of nanolayers, strain dynamics in nanocomposites, and photonic materials for energy conversion.

Her research centers on designing advanced materials with emergent properties, particularly in hybrid systems, photovoltaics, and semiconductor devices. Key themes include interface engineering, nanoscale phase transitions, and sustainable optoelectronics.

Recent publications (2020-2024) demonstrate a progression from optoelectronic materials development to precise control of nanoscale interfaces. Dominant research threads include quantum dot applications, perovskite light-emitters, silicon heterostructures, and catalytic nanomaterials.
