My research interests encompass programmable colloidal nanoscale materials for single-photon sources, imaging, energy applications, and biological applications.
In the first direction, my group will explore the chemistry at the interface of “traditional” colloidal nanomaterials and the emerging field of two-dimensional materials to produce programmable functional heterostructures. In the second direction, we will synthesize stable, highly luminescent heterostructures of near-IR semiconductors as potential quantum emitters. In the third direction, my group will develop electrochemical methods to monitor and quantify hot syntheses and post-synthetic modifications of nanomaterials in situ.
Research Interests:
- Colloidal chemistry of 2D materials
- Pnictide-based NIR quantum dots for on-demand single-photon emitters
- Probing the hot synthesis of nanocrystals in situ.
