Historically, nanoscience research has been centered around three classes of nanomaterials based on their dimensionalities: C60 & quantum dot (0-dimensional, 0D), nanotube and nanowire (1D), graphene and 2D materials (2D).
(1) All prospective new graduate students interested in our group are welcome to attend group meetings (schedule and location).
Research topics include liquid sunlight project, photosynthetic biohybrids, electrochemical and photochemical CO2 fixation, and semiconductor nanowires.
(2) Several postdoc positions are available in the following research directions:
– Liquid sunlight project
– Semiconductor nanowires
– Electrocatalysis
– Photoelectrochemistry
Candidates with interdisciplinary training at the chemistry, materials and biology interface are encouraged to apply.
