My research lies at the intersection of condensed matter physics, quantum optoelectronics, and advanced nanofabrication, focusing on the fundamental exploration and application of low-dimensional materials for next-generation quantum technologies. A primary objective is to investigate light-matter interactions and excitonic physics in two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals heterostructures and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). By leveraging precise dielectric engineering, electrical gating, and moiré superlattices, we try to manipulate quantum complexes—such as excitons, trions, and correlated states—to engineer highly configurable single-photon emitters and investigate spin-valley photophysics essential for quantum information processing.

Experimentally, our workflow bridges fundamental solid-state physics with scalable quantum hardware integration. We utilize state-of-the-art nanofabrication to assemble ultra-clean heterostructures and employ cryogenic optical and photocurrent spectroscopy, time-resolved measurements, and confocal spectroscopy to probe quantum states at extreme temperatures. Currently, a core thrust of our lab involves developing robust, uncooled 1550 nm single-photon detectors based on hybrid 2D systems, aiming to achieve critical breakthroughs in dark-count rates and material stability for quantum communications. Ultimately, our research aims to translate novel quantum phenomena found in correlated 2D systems into scalable, chip-integrated photonic quantum processing units and optical neural networks, paving the way for the future of quantum computing and high-speed optoelectronic devices.
