Minjung Son

Research in the Son group aims to understand the photophysical mechanisms of how energy and charge flow in molecular, materials, and biological systems, which largely govern their function. To explore these mechanisms and dynamics, we utilize ultrafast optical spectroscopy and microscopy. In addition, we develop new classes of spatially controlled nanomaterials and hybrid photonic materials, […]

Wanzheng Hu

Hu’s research plan is to use pump-probe techniques to investigate, control and discover novel quantum phases, including 1) transient disentangling competing/coexisting orders in correlated electron systems; 2) ultrafast manipulating topological phases in Weyl semimetals; and 3) optically accessing and dynamical control low-dimensional materials. These research projects will lead to the development of new ultrafast spectroscopy […]
