Research Directions
All ResearchWe develop first-principles methods for excitons, photoexcited carriers, and ultrafast dynamics in quantum materials.
Carrier dynamicsUltrafast photoexcited-carrier dynamics
Understanding charge transfer, recombination, and electron–phonon coupling in low-dimensional materials and energy-relevant interfaces.
Bose–Einstein condensationMoiré-exciton Bose–Einstein condensation
Modeling material platforms and interaction mechanisms for high-temperature condensation of moiré excitons.
Moiré excitonsFirst-principles theory of moiré excitons
Developing atomically resolved descriptions of moiré excitons and routes to control their optical and dynamical properties.
Ultrafast dynamicsUltrafast conversion and dynamics of moiré excitons
Resolving bright-to-dark exciton transfer and many-body effects with LR-TDDFT and nonadiabatic molecular dynamics.
