Director at The Wong Lab
Research in the Wong lab seeks to adapt time-resolved exciton spectroscopies to the measurement of nanoscale building blocks during their self-assembly into mesoscale architectures. We will measure the electronic structure and exciton dynamics in situ and in real-time as irreversible processes occur, such as crystallization, self-assembly and chemical bond formation. By measuring and comparing how exciton behavior changes during self-assembly using various solution deposition techniques, we will develop strategies to control self-assembly and create materials with designer excitonic properties.
