Faculty & Staff Member Profile

About the Faculty Member

Teaching Interest(s)

Nanochemistry, spectroscopy, photochemistry, catalysis, and materials for solar energy conversion. My teaching connects fundamental concepts in materials chemistry and physics with current research on excited-state dynamics, semiconductor nanomaterials, and photocatalysis. I emphasize research-led learning, hands-on training in advanced spectroscopy, quantitative data analysis, and interdisciplinary problem-solving, alongside graduate supervision and international research collaboration.

Expertise Area(s)

Ultrafast excited-state dynamics in semiconductor nanomaterials and photocatalytic systems, particularly colloidal quantum dots, transition-metal-doped quantum dots, halide perovskites, and covalent organic framework-based hybrid photocatalysts. Core expertise includes femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy, time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy, and time-resolved synchrotron/XFEL measurements to investigate hot-carrier relaxation, charge separation and transport, electron–phonon coupling, polaron formation, and multielectron processes in solar energy conversion.
