Exploring enhanced light-matter interactions with optical, thermal and quantum nanomaterials, structures and devices.
Our multidisciplinary research bridges the researchers across the fields of optical engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, applied physics, and material science. Our lab is dedicated to design, fabrication and characterization of optical, thermal and quantum materials, structures and functional devices for understanding light-matter interactions at the micro/nanoscale, which will advance many exciting applications in optical energy harvesting, optical sensing and imaging, light emission devices, optical and quantum information processing.
