Ginger specializes in the physical chemistry of materials with applications in energy, electronics, and sensing. His team has used combinations of optical and scanning probe microscopy to examine the properties of nanomaterials, particularly thin film semiconductors. The lab has studied mixed ionic/electronic transport materials such as those used in bioelectronics[3] batteries, and most notably in photovoltaic materials such as halide perovskites[4][5] and organic photovoltaics.[6]
