Introduction: 

During my undergraduate studies, I started my research with molecular simulations, focusing on the behavior of proteins within metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). This experience motivated me to seek a more fundamental description of molecular behavior through first-principles approaches.

In my master’s work with Professor Liang-Yan Hsu, I focus on the photophysical properties of molecules, particularly the role of internal conversion processes in determining quantum efficiency. While building this foundation in molecular simulations and excited-state dynamics, I am also interested in how these processes can be further understood and controlled from the perspective of quantum electrodynamics (QED). By combining different computational approaches, I aim to explore the interplay between molecular properties and light–matter interactions, with the long-term goal of applying these insights to the design of functional optoelectronic materials.
