Chiral Organic Materials
Exploring Chirality, Light, and Spin at the Molecular Level
We design and develop chiral organic materials for next-generation photonic, spintronic, and optoelectronic technologies. Our research explores how molecular chirality controls light, spin, and charge transport phenomena, including Circularly Polarized Luminescence (CPL) and Chirality-Induced Spin Selectivity (CISS).
Applications of our work include:
• Catalysis • CP-OLEDs • Molecular Spintronics • Chiral Photonic Systems • Supramolecular Materials • Molecular Electronics
