Past Seeds
Superseed 1 (2024-2025)
Spatiotemporally-Controlled Ion Transport via Photoswitchable Semi-Crystalline Polymer Networks
The goal of our interdisciplinary team is to develop model light-responsive switchable polymers with engineered defects, to precisely control ion transport and mechanical properties for applications in flexible electronics.
Superseed 2 (2024-2025):
Understanding and Engineering Chemical Strain for Single-Photon Emission in hBN
This project seeks to understand how local, nanoscale strain fields induced during the fabrication of single photon emitters affect their optical properties, and, based on this understanding, develop a method to engineering strain to control these properties.
