Chiral π-Conjugated Functional 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
