Our group develops sustainable optoelectronic materials and devices for energy-efficient and human-centric lighting, displays, and energy conversion. Current work centers on rare-earth-free, lead-free light emitters - Mn-activated phosphors and halide perovskites such as Cs3Cu2X5 and Cs2ZrCl6 - designed through a closed loop that links machine learning and first-principles (DFT) calculations with synthesis, spectroscopy, and device integration. We pioneered 3D-printed lead-free perovskite color-conversion layers for white LEDs and are extending laser processing of perovskites toward micro-LED displays.

We welcome students and postdocs from physics, electrical engineering, materials science, chemical engineering, and mechanical engineering. See the Join Us page to join us.
