Dr. Tuller's research is aimed at understanding composition, structure-property-performance relationships in electrically- and optically-active materials and devices. Current research emphasizes the integration of sensors and actuator materials into microelectromechanical (MEMS) and microphotonic systems and the modeling, processing, characterazation and optimization of solid state ionic (sensors, batteries, fuel cells) and of and other electroceramic devices.
