We focus on the physics of novel materials and develop techniques and protocols to manipulate their properties for applications in energy storage and information processing devices. Current topics our group is working on include:
  • Nano-assembled 'smart' materials
  • Nanoplasmonics based optically triggered sensors
  • Hybrid perovskite photovoltaics 
Three group members win prestigious fellowships!
  • Graduate student  Kat Nikolaidou is the winner of Southern California Edison Fellowship for spring 2017. 
  • Graduate student  Som Sarang is the winner of Southern California Edison Fellowship for summer 2017. 
  • Graduate student  Makiko Quint is the winner of the Physics Graduate  Dissertation Fellowship for summer 2017. 
​CCBM NSF center  established at UCM
We are very excited to be a part of brand a new 'nanobio' center at UC Merced funded by NSF
