  1. Alivisatos Lab

    Alivisatos Lab

    Tags: Materials Systems for Sustainability and Health, Quantum Engineering

    When material dimensions reach the nanometer scale, quantum mechanical and thermodynamic properties that are insignificant in larger, everyday materials dominate, causing these nanomaterials to display new and interesting properties. Our work seeks to understand these properties and exploit them for technological applications.

  2. Amanchukwu Lab

    Amanchukwu Lab

    Tags: Materials Systems for Sustainability and Health

    The Amanchukwu Lab’s mission is to creatively solve energy-related challenges, especially focused on energy storage and electrocatalysis. Within energy storage and electrocatalytic devices, electrolytes are a vital component that support ionic and molecular transport. The Amanchukwu Lab is focused on the design and synthesis of novel electrolyte media (solid state and liquid), and the study of electrolyte instability and ionic transport phenomena for applications in batteries and electrocatalysis.

  3. Awschalom Group

    Awschalom Group

    Latest Publication: A fluorescent-protein spin qubit

    Tags: Quantum Engineering

    The Awschalom Group has active research activities in optical and magnetic interactions in semiconductor quantum structures, spin dynamics and coherence in condensed matter systems (“spintronics”), macroscopic quantum phenomena in nanometer-scale magnets, and implementations of quantum information and sensing in the solid state.

  4. Bernien Lab

    Bernien Lab

    Tags: Quantum Engineering

    The Bernien Lab combines techniques from quantum control and quantum optics with ultracold atoms and nanotechnology in order to develop new ways of engineering large, fully controlled quantum systems and studying the phenomena that arise in such systems.

  5. Joyce Chen Lab

    Tags: Immunoengineering

    The Chen lab’s interest is to apply next-generation technologies (e.g. human pluripotent stem cell-based modeling, organotypic tissue engineering by de- / re-cellularization and single-cell analysis) to pursue long-standing questions in cancer research, stem cell biology and regenerative medicine, especially in an era in which stem cell technology, disease modeling, and genomics are approaching a new level of sophistication.

  6. Junhong Chen Research Group

    Junhong Chen Research Group

    Latest Publication: Additive manufacturing and applications of nanomaterial-based sensors

    Tags: Materials Systems for Sustainability and Health

    The Junhong Chen Research Group uses multidisciplinary experiments combined with first-principles calculations to design and discover novel nanomaterials for engineering various sensing and energy devices with superior performance, by taking advantage of unique electronic charge separation and transfer at material interfaces.

  7. Chevrier Lab

    Chevrier Lab

    Tags: Immunoengineering

    The Chevrier Lab aims to uncover the general rules governing how successful immune responses work to stop an infection or remove diseased cells, while keeping the host healthy at the end of the process. They emphasize a multiscale approach that parallels the organization of the immune system across the body from molecules and cells to tissues to the whole organism. By creating new tools and approaches, they study how interactions occur between immunological components across these scales to uncover fundamental concepts in immunology and beyond.

  8. Cleland Lab

    Cleland Lab

    Latest Publication: Quantum control of surface acoustic wave phonons

    Tags: Quantum Engineering

    The Cleland Lab is developing superconducting, mechanical, and optomechanical structures for applications to quantum information. Applying the tools of advanced lithographic processing to a wide range of materials, they can design and build superconducting qubit circuits with excellent quantum coherence; mechanical devices with operating frequencies in the microwave band; and structures that convert signals between microwave and infrared optical frequencies.

  9. Clerk Group

    Clerk Group

    Latest Publication: Heisenberg-Limited Spin Squeezing via Bosonic Parametric Driving

    Tags: Quantum Engineering

    The Clerk Group is broadly interested in a variety of driven-dissipative quantum phenomena occurring in engineered quantum systems. Its research is at the intersection of condensed matter physics, quantum optics, and quantum information. While Clerk Group is composed of theorists, they work closely with a number of leading experimental groups around the world.

  10. Engel Group

    Engel Group

    Tags: Materials Systems for Sustainability and Health, Quantum Engineering

    The Engel Group strives to exploit femtosecond dynamics to steer and to control excited state reactivity. They use a combination of ultrafast spectroscopy, theory, synthesis, and biophysics to approach this problem.
