Our group does research in a variety of fields ranging from catalysis to biomedicine. We specialize in the development of measurement techniques and methodologies applied to chemical systems and condensed matter systems. For example, methodologies include the development of magnetic resonance technology. The measurement techniques, schemes and methodologies we develop focus on probing the properties of matter, their various phases and transformations. We are generally interested in chemical structure, biological, static and nonequilibrium (e.g. transport) electronic and magnetic properties. We are also interested in the development of novel computational techniques and algorithms applied to our projects. Current projects: * Development of solid state qubits for quantum information processing. Currently, there is a Ph.D. position for a student (engineer, physicist or chemist) with strong technical and experimental skills. * Machine learning algorithm development. We are looking for students with a strong background in theory (computer science, math, etc.) and quantum mechanics to develop new methods for quantum machine learning. Contact PI if interested. Past projects: Heterogeneous catalysis, molecular imaging, drug delivery, bioreactors, condensed matter studies of topological materials. In heterogeneous
catalysis we studied reaction mechanisms involving new catalysts from fundamental
science to reaction engineering, with an emphasis on the development of
operando techniques. We also studied materials possessing exotic band structures, develop probes for molecular imaging, drug delivery systems for multi-modality imaging and
theranostics, solid-state nanoscale magnetometry, bioengineering
technique development for regenerative medicine. We have also been developing methodology for
correlated optical and electron microscopy in live cells. We also work on the development of new algorithms for image reconstruction, signal and image denoising, distortion removal, and inverse-problem solutions applied to reactor design and control.
