Research

Colloidal quantum dots bring a new level of freedom to light–matter engineering. Their tunable optical properties and solution-based fabrication open directions that conventional semiconductors cannot easily reach. By building on these strengths, we aim to turn quantum dots into practical platforms for next-generation photonic and light-emitting technologies.
