Minjung Son

Research in the Son group aims to understand the photophysical mechanisms of how energy and charge flow in molecular, materials, and biological systems, which largely govern their function. To explore these mechanisms and dynamics, we utilize ultrafast optical spectroscopy and microscopy. In addition, we develop new classes of spatially controlled nanomaterials and hybrid photonic materials, […]

Hadi Nia

The Nia Lab conducts research at the interface of physical sciences, molecular biology, and immunology to answer the key questions in cancer (primary and metastasis) and pulmonary pathologies such as pneumonia, fibrosis, and COPD. We develop and utilize sophisticated models of disease in multiple scales (whole organ to single cell), and in multiple settings (in […]

Sean Lubner

Professor Lubner specializes in nano-to-macro energy transport and conversion, and has worked on a variety of energy-related systems including biomedical devices, electrochemical and thermal energy storage systems, solid state energy conversion devices, machine learning models, and water desalination. Lubner works extensively with both industry and academia, and holds numerous joint patents and publications.

Wanzheng Hu

Hu’s research plan is to use pump-probe techniques to investigate, control and discover novel quantum phases, including 1) transient disentangling competing/coexisting orders in correlated electron systems; 2) ultrafast manipulating topological phases in Weyl semimetals; and 3) optically accessing and dynamical control low-dimensional materials. These research projects will lead to the development of new ultrafast spectroscopy […]
