Research

We create photofunctional molecular systems by integrating supramolecular design, photochemistry, and autonomous discovery. Our research focuses on emergent functions from molecular assemblies for photomedicine, energy conversion, and bioimaging.

Research Pillars

Supramolecular Photomedicine

Supramolecular Photomedicine

Sustained radical generation via supramolecular redox dye assemblies for next generation photodynamic therapy.

Emergent Photofunctional Systems

Emergent Photofunctional Systems

Photofunctions emerging from molecular assemblies in water for photocatalysis and small molecule transformation.

Dye Assembly Bioimaging

Dye Assembly Bioimaging

Assembly driven photophysics for high contrast and functional bioimaging systems.

Autonomous Materials Discovery

Autonomous Materials Discovery

AI assisted molecular design and robotic optimization for discovering unknown functional systems.
