Lab Groups

The Wang Group focuses on the fundamental study and development of advanced polymeric materials and devices that possess exceptional (opto)electronic/energy functionalities, mechanical softness, and human/bio-compatibility. Through this research, they aim to provide the scientific and technological basis for merging electronics with human bodies and other biological systems with unprecedented seamlessness.

Improvements in the cost and speed of DNA sequencing and synthesis over the past two decades have made the dream of a technological world powered by the information storage and processing capacities of life’s molecular constituents increasingly realizable. The Weinstein Lab develops technologies that apply both these advances and others in physics and computation to pressing problems in biology and medicine.

The Xu Research Group harnesses AI, robotics, and molecular engineering to accelerate the design of polymers for electronics, sustainability, health, and beyond.

We use molecular beam epitaxy to engineer quantum materials layer-by-layer and characterize the electronic properties of these materials using equilibrium and non-equilibrium photoemission spectroscopy. The group is interested in quantum phenomena emerging at material interfaces, such as interfacial superconductivity and topological order.

The Zhong Lab focuses on five research areas: designer atomic qubits, quantum networks and interconnections, hybrid quantum systems for transduction, quantum information and communication, and nanophotonics and integrated optics.
