About
Vibrant research programs are developed with primary focus on the design and development of novel plasmonic and rare-earth upconversion nanomaterials taking advantage of physical chemistry approaches for a broad range of applications. The ultimate goal is to gain deep scientific insights to structure-property relationship. Primary teaching responsibilities are general chemistry, physical chemistry and advanced chemistry courses relevant to materials, nanoscience and nanotechnology for senior and graduate students.
Current Research
Research Areas
- Physical Chemistry
- Materials Science
- Nanophotonics
We are currently interested in metal-semiconductor core-shell hybrid hetero-nanostructures with extinction peaks tuned to near-infrared (NIR) spectral region. This will lead to the efficient conversion of solar energy especially the NIR portions into chemical energy through photocatalytic reactions by utilizing novel anisotropic hybrid nanostructures. Another current project is the rational design of smart probes based on NIR-excited lanthanidedoped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) for latent fingerprint imaging and particularly, encryption.
