We explore the properties of molecules/materials strongly coupled to light.

​Light-matter interaction reaches the strong coupling regime, when light and matter exchange energy at faster than other dissipation in the system forming “light-matter hybrid molecule” with modified chemical and physical properties compared to the original molecule. For instance, the chemical landscape of strongly coupled molecules is different relative to an uncoupled molecule leading to changes in reaction rates and selectivity. We combine molecular synthesis, nanofabrication, and spectroscopic techniques to understand the fundamentals of strongly coupled molecules and build next generation devices out of light-matter hybrid states.

We invite creative and curious young minds to join us for their doctoral and post-doctoral research in the new and fast emerging field molecular strong coupling.
