Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ana M Valencia"
- Ana M. Valencia's research primarily focuses on the electronic and optical properties of materials, particularly tin-halide semiconductors and organic semiconductors, utilizing first-principles methods such as time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) to investigate structural and charge transfer dynamics in various compounds.
- Recent findings include the identification of how structural properties of tin-halide and organic donor-acceptor interfaces are influenced by solvent interactions, alkylization, and the nature of molecular doping, which have implications for the development of photovoltaic applications and charge carrier dynamics.
- Valencia's work also extends into biomedicine, examining the impacts of adiposity on glycemia in Latino youth at risk for type 2 diabetes, indicating a multidisciplinary approach in her research contributions across materials science and health.
