Research in the lab focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and engineering of optically active quantum spin defects in colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals. By combining bottom-up chemical synthesis with advanced optical spectroscopy and spin-based measurements, the lab aims to understand and control spin–photon interactions at the nanoscale. This materials-driven approach seeks to establish scalable, tunable quantum platforms for applications in quantum sensing, communication, and information processing.
