The main thrust of my research is into materials for the thermoelectric power generation, a unique technique to generate electricity from, e.g., waste heat. Thermoelectric power generation is foreseen to play an increasing role in the near future, considering the pressing need for alternative energies due to declining natural resources. Increasing the efficiency of thermoelectric materials would further accelerate this development, which may be achieved discovering new materials as well as by improving established materials via nanostructuring or band structure engineering, for example.

我研究的主要方向是热电发电材料，这是一种独特的发电技术，例如，废热考虑到自然资源减少对替代能源的迫切需求，预计热电发电在不久的将来将发挥越来越大的作用。提高热电材料的效率将进一步加速这种发展，这可以通过发现新材料以及通过例如纳米结构或能带结构工程来改进现有材料来实现。
