My research group studies charge carrier motions in solids and has special interest in optoelectronic properties of renewable energy materials. The techniques we use include time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy and optical pump-probe measurements to study the ultrafast charge carrier generation and transport dynamics. The goal of our research program is to understand the underlying physics of energy materials and to guide future developments.
