(4oo) Chiral Engineering on Asymmetrical Nanointerface

Research Interests: While the primary focus of current research on chirality remains in the field of chiral optical activity, the structural asymmetry corresponding to chirality applies to various materials and their associated multiphysical fields, influencing a range of physical phenomena. This pervasive influence manifests in diverse effects such as electron spin-selective filtering, topological magnetism, and circularly polarized blackbody radiation. Beyond generating new phenomena and knowledge, chirality research offers insights into nano-optics, optoelectronics, information communication, thermal conduction, and more. Leveraging extensive experience in chiral inorganic materials synthesis, theoretical simulation, and nanophononics, my research direction over the next 5–10 years includes:

1. Realizing the benefits of strong coupling and atomic-to-micro scale chirality continuity in asymmetric nanocavities for catalytic reactions and entangled photon operations (Thrust I).
2. Accelerating photon spin modulation beyond GHz levels by engineering the intrinsic electric and magnetic moments of materials (Thrust II).
3. Developing 'perfect' chiral light-emitting devices with synchronized control over frequency, spin, and orbital angular momentum (Thrust III).

Teaching Interests: I aim to adopt a philosophy of sharing rather than traditional teaching in my role as an educator. Reflecting on my experiences as a student with a bachelor’s degree in science education and an advanced professional teaching certificate, I understand that simply presenting information may not always engage students or motivate them to learn. As an effective teacher, I believe it is crucial to stand on equal footing with my students and consider their perspectives. By sharing my experiences and accumulated knowledge, I hope to inspire students to take an active role in their learning journey. My primary goal is to help students develop self-learning abilities. In my new role as a faculty member, I am confident in applying these strategies to various courses, such as:

1. Nano-optics with Polarization
2. Colloidal Nanomaterials: Synthesis, Self-assembly, and Nanophotonics
