About

We engineer quantum nanostructures in atomically thin 2D materials and carbon nanotubes, advancing nanotechnology and quantum technologies through the exploration of emergent quantum phenomena.

Quantum Light Sources

Atomically precise quantum emitters in van der Waals materials via functionalization engineering.

Photophysics

Understanding nanoscale phenomena in carbon nanotubes and 2D materials through advanced spectroscopy.

Optoelectronics

Electrical control of excitonic properties in 2D materials via nanofabrication and quantum nanostructures.
