Welcome!

We are a new and growing research group in the Chemistry Department at UNC Charlotte.

We study light-induced charge and energy-transfer dynamics in colloidal semiconductor quantum dots and aim to understand the processes that link nanocrystal exciton states with surface traps, coordinated ligands and other nanostructures in the vicinity of the quantum dots.

Using time-resolved fluorescence techniques we probe electron dynamics on timescales that range over 10 orders of magnitude from picoseconds to hours.

We develop computational models to analyze spectroscopic data and aim to tailor materials via in-house quantum dot synthesis and external collaborations.

Please look at a detailed description of our research interests for more information.

Excellent graduate students are encouraged to join the group. Projects will involve spectroscopy, synthesis and computational chemistry - probing new concepts in nanocrystal research.

Motivated undergraduates are welcome to take part in the ongoing research on novel and functional nanomaterials.
