Supramolecular Photomedicine – Sustained Redox PDT

Supramolecular redox dye assemblies enabling sustained radical generation for hypoxia resilient phototherapy. I design simple but powerful molecular systems for next generation photomedicine.

Emergent Photofunctional Complex Supramolecular Systems

Photofunctions emerging from complex assemblies for small molecular transformation and photocatalysis in water. I explore multi step energy and electron transfer enabled by mesoscale molecular fields.

Dye Accumulation Induced Photophysical Properties for Bioimaging

Aggregation and accumulation driven photophysics in biological environments. I develop high contrast probes and functional imaging strategies based on dye assemblies.

Autonomous Materials Discovery

AI assisted molecular design and robotic optimization to explore chemical space. I aim to discover unknown functional systems and new governing principles.
