Welcome to the Sun group!

The overall theme of our laboratory is to use our expertise in coordination chemistry, materials science, electrochemistry, and photochemistry to address two frontier challenges: energy and health. Our programs are highly multidisciplinary. Students will be trained in a broad set of skills and inspired to become critical-thinking scientists with a passion on solving urgent problems from a fundamental science perspective.


Positions Available
