Our research in inorganic materials chemistry, photochemistry, and spectroscopy
We synthesize inorganic nanomaterials, functionalize their surfaces with molecules, build heterostructures from nanoscopic components, and explore the photoinduced charge-transfer reactivity of the materials we create. Our goals are to assemble heterostructures and interfaces with ever-improved precision and to elucidate the influence of interfacial properties and electronic structure on light-induced charge-transfer reactivity and photocatalytic performance.
Students working in our research group develop skills in the following areas:
- Synthetic materials chemistry
- Surface chemistry
- Materials characterization techniques
- Vibrational spectroscopy
- Electronic spectroscopy
- Time-resolved spectroscopy
- Photochemistry
- Electrochemistry
