Collaborative Network
Our research is inherently collaborative. We work across disciplines and institutions to bring together nanocrystal synthesis, self-assembly, photophysics, advanced characterization, and computational modelling to foster implementation into useful technologies.
These collaborations expand the range of questions we can address and give students access to an international network of complementary expertise.
Italy
Università degli Studi di Palermo
Fabrizio Messina & Alice Sciortino
Our collaboration focuses on advanced optical characterization of luminescent nanomaterials, connecting nanoscale structure with collective optical behaviour in hierarchical assemblies.
Europe
University of Amsterdam
Peter Schall
Our collaboration investigates colloidal interactions, self-assembly, and phase behaviour, connecting experiments with concepts from soft condensed matter and statistical physics.
Wageningen University & Research
Thomas Kodger
We collaborate on soft materials, colloidal systems, microfluidics, and experimental strategies for controlling particle interactions and assembly under well-defined conditions.
Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg
Michael Engel
Our collaboration combines experiments with computational and theoretical modelling to understand crystallization, phase selection, and structural complexity in nanocrystal and colloidal assemblies.
SolarFoil
Arnon Lesage
Our collaboration connects light-emitting nanomaterials and photonic design with scalable spectral-conversion technologies and industrial applications.
United States
University of Pennsylvania
Christopher B. Murray and Cherie R. Kagan
We collaborate on colloidal nanocrystal synthesis and assembly, with an emphasis on controlling particle size, shape, composition, and interactions to create complex mesostructured materials.
Johns Hopkins University
Thi Vo
We collaborate on theory and computational modelling of nanoparticle self-assembly, including the effects of particle shape, surface ligands, directional interactions, and thermodynamic driving forces.
Argonne National Laboratory
Benjamin T. Diroll
Our collaboration uses time-, temperature-, and pressure-resolved optical spectroscopy and complementary structural characterization to study colloidal nanocrystals and their assemblies.
Center for Functional Nanomaterials
Brookhaven National Laboratory
Esther H. R. Tsai
We collaborate on advanced X-ray scattering, imaging, and data-analysis approaches for resolving the structure and evolution of complex nanomaterial assemblies.
