(1) Chiral plasmonic nanoparticles;

(2) Plasmonic control of 2D excitons;

(3) Plasmon-driven photocatalysis;

(4) SERS-based detection.

These projects are highly interdisciplinary. We aim at both fundamental scientific understanding and technological applications. We warmly welcome students who are interested in the topics above to apply for PhD study in physics or MSE in our group. Students who join our group will have rich opportunities to learn among students with diverse academic backgrounds.

My group is recruiting joint PhD students in Physics and MSE between CUHK and GBU. The research topics are given above. The duration of the study is 4 years, with the first 3 years at CUHK and the last year at GBU, no matter one has a master degree or not. The education and training follows the requirements of CUHK. The final PhD degree will be given by CUHK. Those who have taken TOEFL (79 or above) or IELTS (6.5 or above) are preferred. Please contact me at jfwang@phy.cuhk.edu.hk before 22 February 2026 if you are interested.

Please check our department website for the requirements and application procedure for PhD study in our department and university.
