Thesis Title: Photophysical Properties of Exciton–Polaritons in CdSe Nanocrystal–Cavity Systems
Thesis Advisor: Professor Todd D. Krauss
Research: I studied the photophysical properties of light–matter quasiparticles, known as exciton–polaritons, through strong coupling between electronic states of CdSe nanocrystals and photons confined within an optical cavity. I employed thin-film deposition techniques to fabricate the samples and performed spectral measurements using a Fourier-space imaging system. I validated the design through optical simulations in Lumerical and modeled the experimental data in MATLAB.
