Mengjia's research interests focus on the photophysical process of organic and organic-inorganic crystalline materials.

Weijian's research interests include the properties of low-dimensional materials and hybrid light-matter states.

Dr. Yang's research interests focus on developing novel two-dimensional nanomaterials and characterizing their structural evolutions and light coupling using ultrafast spectroscopy.

Ben works with the QuPIDC at Purdue. In particular, he supports the research via nanofabrication, scientific programming, and optical systems.

Galina joined Huang research group in the fall of 2019 to study energy transfer in organic systems and photosynthetic complexes.

Kinjol's primary focus is on studying strong light-matter interactions in 2D materials (TMDC) and integrating them with nanophotonic structures to harness strong optical nonlinearity at the single-photon level.

Jonas's work focuses on understanding the dynamics of excitons in transition metal dichalcogenides and how they can be strongly coupled to light using photonic devices.

Emma joined Purdue in the fall of 2021, and is co-advised by Dr. Libai Huang and Dr. Jonathan Hood. She studies light-matter interactions with organic molecules.

In the summer of 2023, Qiushi joined the Huang Research Group.

Sonja joined the Huang lab in 2024 and is studying the excitonic properties of perovskite superlattices.

Josh's current research involves the photophysics of fluorophores and their reduced functionality at cryo temperatures. This research will be applied to the field of cryo-CLEM.

Arnab joined the Huang group in Fall 2024, where he focused on studying transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) and exciton transport in 2D materials using LASER-based techniques.

Currently, Minxue is learning about the excitonic properties of group-VI transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and their integration and coupling with photonic devices.

In 2024, Shukai joined the Huang Research Group. Currently, he keeps studying theories and facilities in the lab for his future research.
