Design and synthesis of advanced nanomaterials with understanding light-matter interaction and chemical reaction mechanism. Based on these nanomaterials, we aim to study their physicochemical properties and their applications include fuel & solar cells, sensing & removal of hazardous materials, plasmonics, photovoltaics, and photocatalysis.
We investigate chemical reactions at nanomaterial interfaces, ranging from light-driven plasmonic photocatalysis to heterogeneous catalysis. By controlling nanostructures, surface properties, and interfacial interactions, we aim to understand catalytic reaction mechanisms and develop sustainable approaches for energy conversion and environmental applications.
We use advanced optical spectroscopy to investigate chiral light–matter interactions at the nanoscale. By combining circular dichroism, Raman and SERS, and single-particle spectroscopy, we explore how chirality is generated, transferred, and amplified through interactions among molecules, plasmonic nanostructures, and light. These studies aim to establish fundamental principles for controlling chirality and to develop new opportunities in chiral sensing, photonics, and photocatalysis.
