Light-Matter Interactions

Most of the research performed by our group revolves about matter interacting with electromagnetic waves: BECs with lasers, electrons in quantum dots manipulated by laser fields or voltage probes, voltage probes used in elucidating electron dynamics in graphene, etc.

 

Yet, we also perform research in which the properties of matter can be probed by light. Recent work include photo-induced oxidation of phosphorene in collaboration with Professor Barraza-Lopez (University of Arkansas), studying the optical properties of eumelanin-inspired molecules with the experimental group of Professor Nelson (OSU Chemistry) and with Professor Heller (Harvard University) developing an alternative theory of Raman Spectroscopy for Graphene.
