🔬 What if we could watch photocatalysis happen—one catalyst at a time and in real time?
see our new article in Chem "Single-catalyst operando photoluminescence spectroscopy of perovskite quantum-dot-driven photoredox reactions"
We use an individual perovskite quantum dot simultaneously as:
✨ a quantum emitter
⚗️ a single photocatalyst
👁️ an operando probe of its own catalytic activity
Remarkably, these perovskite QDs are sufficiently robust to operate under realistic reaction conditions while revealing charge-transfer dynamics, particle-to-particle heterogeneity, and degradation at the few-atom level.
These insights are fundamentally inaccessible through conventional ensemble measurements

New paper alert: a quick summary of most of my tenure time. Special thanks to Zach and Colette for doing much of the heavy lifting!

Happy #FluorescenceFriday!! Do I lose my spectroscopy street cred if I do organic synthesis? Asking for a friend... #glowythings

So proud of you!!!
Pretty excited on my 25th (by my count) first day of school, but my first one at @HopeCollege. Very blessed to be teaching my favorite class, Gen Chem I this semester!

If you had told me three years ago I'd have my own microscopy suite with all sorts of toys some day I would've called you crazy. Here it is!!
Ready for science 😍

So proud of you!
They grow up so quick 🥹
I’m thrilled to share that this fall, I’ll be joining Hope College in beautiful Holland, MI, as an Assistant Professor of Chemistry! Continuing Hope’s strong undergrad research tradition, my lab will make, tune, and measure semiconductor nanocrystals for many applications.
