Predicting and Controlling Correlated Light-Matter Interactions Quantum systems host spectacular excited-state effects, but many of these phenomena remain challenging to control and, consequently, technologically under-explored. My research, therefore, focuses on how quantum systems behave, particularly away from equilibrium, and how we can harness these effects1. By creating predictive approaches to study dynamics, decoherence and photo-induced […]

“Strategies for Modulating Stabilities of Soft and Hard Hybrid Materials with Boron Clusters” Carbon chemistry is ubiquitous across the development of modern materials. In comparison, use of boron building blocks is underdeveloped, owing to the historic instability of simple boranes. Polyhedral boranes, however, fundamentally differ from their borane precursors and exhibit exceptional chemical stability as […]

A Tale of Two Doping Mechanisms: Controlling the Formation of Charge Transfer Complexes in Chemically Doped Semiconducting Polymers Doping of organic semiconductors has emerged as a viable route for the inexpensive fabrication of numerous electronic devices such as light emitting diodes, thin film transistors, and thermoelectric generators. The p-type doping of polymer based semiconductors like P3HT is achieved through […]
