“A lot of what we do really comes down to understanding how energy and charge move around at the nanoscale,” says Minjung Son, professor of chemistry. Son’s research focuses on understanding photophysical processes that govern the movement of energy. Read more: bit.ly/4gw5QqM

New paper from the group! In collab. with Huimin Cheng in the Biostatistics Department, we report a smart sampling strategy that reconstructs ultrafast spectroscopy data using less than 1% of the measurements normally required. Read here @aip-publishing.bsky.social: pubs.aip.org/aip/jcp/arti...

Super stoked about our second JACS! We establish allenes as reversible halochromes with dramatic optical property switching. This work could not have been this successful without the amazing support from @minjungson.bsky.social at BU and the Ding Lab at WFU. Check it out pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Allenes as Stimuli-Responsive Chromophores for Visible to Near-Infrared Optical Modulation
Despite their rigid, orthogonal π-systems and synthetic modularity, allenes remain underexplored in functional material design. Here, we report that tetraaryl-substituted allenes undergo clean and rev...

Check out these two new papers from our group (1/2): With @cschaack.bsky.social and Wendu Ding's groups at Wake Forest University, we demonstrate how protonation can significantly modulate the optical properties of allenes @jacs.acspublications.org pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Excited to share the first publication from the Son group! We discuss how ultrafast spectroscopy can help unravel the exciting photophysics that take place in exciton-polaritons. pubs.aip.org/aip/cpr/arti...
