We are investigating light-matter interactions using synthesis, optical/ultrafast spectroscopy, advanced microscopy and computational calculations to reveal/discover materials that can be used in organic solar cells, sensors, high resolution imaging, and cancer/disease therapy. Also, we are excited to learn more on the underlying Chemistry/Physics of current cutting-edge phenomena such as singlet exciton fission, quantum-cofined nanoclusters and environmental sensing materials.
