Specialization

Experimental physical chemistry; ultrafast and nonlinear spectroscopy, nanomaterials

Expertise

Transient absorption spectroscopy, second harmonic generation, pump-probe reflectivity and ultrafast microscopy; nanoparticle synthesis and characterization.

Education

Ph.D. in Chemistry from UC Berkeley (2009); post-doc at Columbia University (2009-2012).

Research

The research project in our group supported by CIMM investigates laser heating and melting dynamicsinmetalalloyand semiconductor surfacesand nanomaterials. We have constructed a new ultrafast laser setup that uses femtosecond laser pulses for pump-probe reflectivity and time-resolved microscopy measurements for studying fundamental wavelength-dependent and power-dependent solid-to-liquid phase transitions in selective laser melting. In addition to crystalline and polycrystalline surfaces, we are also preparing metal alloy nanoparticles deposited on substrates for future laser melting dynamics experiments.
