WELCOME

Our
current research interests
focus on

(1) New plasmonic nanoparticles (new materials, new shapes, new properties, new applications);

(2) Interactions between plasmons and 2D excitons (control of plasmons, control of 2D excitons);

(3) Chiral plasmonic nanoparticles and their applications (control of valley polarization in 2D materials);

(4) Plasmonic photocatalysis.

These projects are highly interdisciplinary. We aim at satisfying our scientific curiosities and creating potentially or practically useful technologies. We warmly welcome students who are interested in the topics above to apply for PhD study in physics or materials science and engineering in our group.
