(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. Students in my group are trained project-wise. They will receive training throughout the entire project, i.e., starting from the design/discovery of a project, through experiments and analysis, to the final preparation of the manuscript. They will also have rich opportunities to discuss with the supervisor. There are two majors for PhD study, Physics and MSE, under the Department of Physics. 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.

We will not be able to admit students for PhD study in my group for entry in 2027 owing to a budget issue that occurred recently. We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused to those students who have been in contact with me. We warmly welcome students to apply for PhD study in my group for entry in 2028.

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