Welcome to the Yong Lab! We develop advanced techniques to "watch" ultrafast dynamics in increasingly complex molecular systems during chemical reactions, achieving atomic-scale spatial resolution and temporal resolution ranging from femtoseconds to attoseconds. Our goal is to build an accurate, fundamenatal understanding of excited-state physical and chemical processes, enabling precise control of the flow of energy and charge at the molecular level.Â
