A lot has happened this semester. First of all a big welcome to our newest PhD student, Yaejin Kim! She’ll be building on her background in spectroscopy from BNL to push forward our studies of ultrafast polariton transport.

The collaboration with the Milner group continues to bear fruit – the CORN-MOF1 paper on fluorescent intermediates in MOF preparation has been accepted at Chemistry of Materials. This paper includes some of the first spectroscopy data ever taken in our labs and was where David and Stavrini cut their teeth. A long time coming, but great work!

 

 

And with a somewhat faster turnaround, Juno has kicked off our collaboration with Qiuming Yu with a beautifully detailed look into polaron dynamics in perovskite quantum dots, just published in ACS Nano. It’s a wonderful example of how spectroscopy should be done!

And finally, our review article on organic exciton-polaritons has just come out at Chemical Physics Reviews. Have a look and learn a thing or two about the problems we face.
