Why JOIN this lab ?

Why join this lab ?

Our philosophy is to think across disciplines while developing strong experimental, computational, and analytical skills relevant to both academia and advanced technology development.

• Work on frontier problems in light–matter interactions.
  Study ultrafast quantum dynamics, exciton transport, and nanoscale processes that determine the functionality of modern quantum and energy materials.

• Build and use advanced optical instruments.
  Gain hands-on experience with ultrafast lasers, multidimensional spectroscopy, nonlinear optical microscopy, and hyperspectral imaging systems.

• Develop a deeper conceptual understanding of physical processes.
  Our work emphasizes connecting experiments with theory to move beyond purely empirical observations. Development of all tools - experimental and theoretical - is done in-house, enabling students to complete the full research loop - build, measure and analyze - necessary to deeply understand the microscopic mechanisms that govern energy and charge transport in complex materials.

• Gain interdisciplinary research experience.
  Work at the intersection of physics, chemical physics, materials science, and engineering while developing both experimental and computational skills.

Who should apply ?

Our research sits at the interface of physics, chemical physics, and physical chemistry, combining ideas from quantum dynamics, ultrafast optics, and condensed matter physics. If you are interested in understanding how energy and charge move in emerging quantum and photovoltaic materials, exploring fundamental questions such as the remarkable efficiency of natural photosynthesis, or developing new optical spectroscopy, imaging, and sensing tools, our group may be a good fit for you.

We welcome motivated project assistants, undergraduate students, Ph.D. candidates, and postdoctoral researchers interested in interdisciplinary research. Students from the following backgrounds are particularly encouraged to apply:

• Physics and Applied Physics (optics, condensed matter, quantum dynamics)

• Physical Chemistry / Chemical Physics (spectroscopy, photophysics, energy transfer)

• Engineering and Applied Optics (instrumentation, electronics, imaging systems)
  
  

If you enjoy working at the intersection of fundamental science and experimental instrumentation, you will likely find our research environment exciting and rewarding.
