I am thrilled to announce the publication of our latest paper, ‘Visualizing ultrafast photothermal dynamics with decoupled optical force nanoscopy‘, in Nature Communications! A big shout-out and congratulations to all the authors, and heartfelt thanks to Prof. Catherine Murphy’s and Prof. Yun-Sheng Chen’s teams for their amazing collaboration in making this happen.

I am thrilled to announce that our recent paper, “Visualizing Ultrafast Photothermal Dynamics with Decoupled Optical Force Nanoscopy”, is now accepted for publication in Nature Communications! This work is in collaboration with Prof. Yun-Sheng Chen at ECE and Prof. Catherine Murphy at Chemistry. Congratulations to Henry (Hanwei) Wang and the coauthors!

I am thrilled to announce that my students, Henry (Hanwei) Wang, Xiaodong Ye, and Josh Yu, have been awarded the prestigious Best Project Award at the IEEE Wireless Power Transfer Conference and Expo! This is an outstanding achievement and a testament to their exceptional talent, creativity, dedication, and teamwork. I am beyond excited and immensely proud of this extraordinary team! Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition!
