Zhiyuan’s work focuses on developing synthetic polymers capable to replicate protein functions while satisfying stability and compatibility with device fabrication and integration. Random heteropolymers (RHPs), which lack specificity in sequence and structure, can be...
Elizabeth’s work focuses on using first principles calculations to study the electronic structure of layered 2-dimensional materials and ternary oxides for applications in artificial photosynthesis and advanced computing technology. A particular focus of Elizabeth’s...
Avishek’s research focuses on computationally probing the dynamics of nucleation, growth and annealing of strongly coupled superlattices from the self-assembly of gold nanocrystals. Strongly coupled superlattices with metallic transport find potential use in...
Ethan is interested in both the synthesis and characterization of highly efficient luminescent systems, specifically the CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals. The newly developed photothermal threshold quantum yield (PTQY) instrument will allow for precise and accurate...
Jason’s research is centered around understanding the thermodynamics of small systems, particularly nanomaterials, with an emphasis on experimental calorimetry. At small scales, the surfaces of materials play an increasingly important role in dictating their...
