Our research in quantum defects focuses on creating and characterizing precisely defined quantum emitters in nanomaterials based on functionalization engineering.

Investigating exciton-phonon interactions, upconversion luminescence, the potential for laser cooling, and carrier dynamics in carbon nanotubes and 2D heterostructures and devices.

Exploring magneto-optical phenomena in van der Waals magnets and their heterostructures, probing how magnetism couples to the spin and valley states of excitons as a basis for quantum technologies.
