Collective Dynamics and Quantum Transport
Collective Dynamics and Quantum Transport Unit explores dynamical and transport phenomena in various quantum matters and their spintronic, electronic, and quantum-information applications.
Shu Zhang
Assistant Professor
Energy Materials and Sustainability Unit
The Energy Materials and Sustainability Unit designs advanced functional materials for selective, sustainable energy-to-fuel/chemical conversion, aiming for a circular chemical industry.
Jinsun Lee
Assistant Professor
Femtosecond Spectroscopy Unit
Utilizing cutting-edge time-resolved techniques, including ultrafast PEEM and ARPES, the Femtosecond Spectroscopy Unit explores extreme light-matter interaction on the nanometer and femtosecond scale.
Keshav M. Dani
Professor
Light-Matter Interactions for Quantum Technologies Unit
We study interactions between small particles, such as atoms, and laser light using nano-optics tools, to better understand light’s influences on dynamics.
Síle Nic Chormaic
Professor
Membrane Cooperativity Unit
We develop methods for single-molecule imaging and analysis, and apply them to unravel the mechanisms by which the cellular plasma membrane perform signaling and synaptic transmission.
Akihiro Kusumi
Professor
Molecular Cryo-Electron Microscopy Unit
The Molecular Cryo-Electron Microscopy Unit investigates the structure of macromolecular complexes with an emphasis on viruses, ion channels, and membrane proteins. The unit seeks better und...
Matthias Wolf
Professor
Nano-mechanics, Kinetics, and Sustainable Manufacturing Unit
Bridging nano to continuum scales, we develop advanced computational & imaging techniques for designing scalable processes for sustainable materials production and manufacturing.
Yifan Wang
Assistant Professor (Transitional)
pi-Conjugated Polymers Unit
We work on creating synthetic methods for polymer semiconductors and the development of new materials for use in organic electronics (e.g., OLEDs, stretchable devices, bioelectronics).
