Our main research focus has been the theoretical design and experimental development of novel functional molecular/material systems and molecular/nano devices through the understanding of molecular functional mechanisms and assemblies. In sharp contrast to conventional host-guest chemistry, the guests in our case include photons, electrons, and protons as well as molecules and ions. Thus, our study includes understanding the static and dynamic properties of nanomaterials by elucidation of matter-photon/electron interactions.
Based on the sophisticated theoretical modeling with state-of-the-art super-computer aided nano-material design approaches, we better understand the intriguing molecular assembly phenomena and molecular self-engineering processes. This has allowed the design of new functional materials with intriguing molecular architectures which are host to a range of new chemistry and physics. Subsequently, we have demonstrated the successful synthesis and fabrication of nano-materials and devices such as nanolenses, graphene sheets, organic nanotubes, and molecular sensors/sorters.
