Research Experience

I am a physicist with a broad range of experience, which spans from scanning tunneling microscope (STM) of the iron surface corrosion, to optical microscopy of oil-surfactant interface, to ultrafast spectroscopy of organic semiconductors. I have a strong background in photophysics, spin-physics, spectroscopy, computations and simulations using programming languages. Below are some highlighted research projects I conducted.

Bi-excitonic Interactions in Singlet Fission and Triplet-Triplet Annihilation of Organic Molecules

This is the project I conducted when I worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence in Exciton Science. I used time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy, magnetic field effect on photoluminescence and computational modellings to reveal new insights into the mechanism and intermediate states in singlet fission and triplet-triplet annihilation.

Triplet Exciton Management via Solid-State Interactions in Organic Semiconductors

This is my PhD research project which was conducted at the University of Cambridge, Cavendish Laboratory, Optoelectronics group. I investigated a new family of organic light emitters known as carbene-metal-amides (CMAs). I used ultrafast spectroscopy and computational models to unveil the emission mechanisms of these highly-efficient and hybrid-type molecules.

Oilfield Scale Formation: Dynamics of Sweet/Sour Corrosion Scales

During my Bachalor of Science (B.Sc) final year project at the Photon Science Institute, University of Manchester, I used scanning tunneling microscope (STM) to investigate the initial stage of corrosion scale formation in pipeline environment on Fe(110) surface.
