This project involves exploring photophysics and photochemistry of various organic semiconductor molecules, spanning femtoseconds to seconds time-scales after photoexcitation. The goal of the project is to understand how molecular structure and energetics affect various properties and processes such as singlet fission, energy and charge transfer, and chemical reactions responsible for photodegradation.
This project involves exploring optical and optoelectronic properties of organic materials and organic-inorganic heterojunctions in optical microcavities and other resonant structures.The goal of this project is to understand how polariton formation affects exciton and charge carrier dynamics, as well as photochemical reactions responsible for photodegradation.
In this project, we explore spin waves and how they can be controlled by polaritons in 2D magnets and their hybrids with organic molecules.
In this project, we use response of native (wild) bees to visual stimuli to attract the bees to food sources. Field studies are combined with optical characterization of bee traps and theoretical modeling.
