My research interest is the low-dimensional semiconductor materials, including organic, inorganic and hybrid materials, and their applications in various energy-conversion processes.
My research group focuses on the design, understanding, and application of sustainable functional nanomaterials. Our core materials platforms include colloidal quantum dots, perovskite quantum dots, and, in particular, bio-derivable carbon dots, as well as other nanomaterials with strong potential for environmentally friendly technologies.
A central aspect of my research is advanced materials characterization, aimed at establishing a fundamental understanding of nanodot formation mechanisms, the origin of their optical properties, and the principles by which structure can be controlled to tailor photophysical behavior. By combining synthesis, spectroscopy, and structural analysis, we seek to build clear structure–property relationships that guide rational materials design.
Beyond applications in optical and optoelectronic devices, the Green Nanodots group maintains broad and active collaborations across disciplines. We work closely with researchers in biology, medicine, and related fields to explore emerging bio- and medical applications of green nanodots, with an emphasis on sustainability, functionality, and real-world impact.
