We are developing and using femtosecond time-resolved spectroscopic and microscopic techniques to investigate excited state dynamics in molecular systems, in molecule/semiconductor hybrid systems and in individual nanoparticles.

Abstract 

-The quantum light-matter interactions between the molecule and the quantized radiation mode inside an optical cavity create a set of hybridized electronic-photonic states, so-called polaritons, opening up new possibilities to control chemical reactions by exploiting intrinsic quantum behaviors of light-matter interactions.
