Our overall goals involve understanding the physical principles governing the interactions among plasmonic nanoparticles themselves and with their molecular environment, as well as determining emerging collective optical properties in the presence of defects.
We invite you to take a look at our science.
Coupled nanostructures
Our current emphasis is on the following topics: Optical dichroism, nanoscale thermal control, and nanoparticle arrays.
Hybrid plasmonic interfaces
Our current emphasis is on the following topics: Plasmon-coupled circular dichroism, single-particle spectro-electrochemistry, and plasmon-enhanced solvated electron generations.
Plasmon, hot carrier, and exciton decay dynamics
Our current emphasis is on the following topics: Plasmon dephasing & electron dynamics, acoustic modes of single nanostructures, and light emission from nanoparticles.
