What we do in Lab?
We engineer and control excited states at the molecular level.
We combine time-resolved electronic and vibrational spectroscopy with molecular and materials engineering to uncover how excited states evolve, interact, and transform. By manipulating molecular structure, environments, confinement, and interfaces, we design and control unconventional photodynamic pathways for energy and charge flow.
Our Aim?
We seek to move beyond conventional optoelectronic design by turning fundamental photophysical insights into new technologies.
Our vision is to build molecular optoelectronic breadboards—well-defined molecular and material systems where individual photophysical processes can be understood, controlled, and integrated. Through this approach, we aim to expand the functional limits of next-generation optoelectronic materials.
