Our group explores fundamental sciences in low-dimensional quantum materials and leverages their desirable properties in microelectronic devices and optoelectronic devices. Specifically, we study quantum confinement effects, light-matter interactions, nontrivial topology, and strongly correlated electrons in a wide range of low-dimensional materials such as two-dimensional graphene, black phosphorus, transition metal dichalcogenides; one-dimensional topological boundaries; and zero-dimensional quantum dots. We fabricate nanodevices and through electrical transport and optical spectroscopy measurements (often at cryogenic temperatures), we uncover exotic physical phenomena absent in classical materials. We engineer these newly discovered physical properties and seek practical applications of quantum materials, especially in the semiconductor industry, quantum technologies, and optical sensing.
