#pumppushprobe strikes again! This time revealing that #ultrafast hot carrier trapping in InP #quantumdots hampers lasing despite high PLQY. A 9-institution collab spanning femto-to-microsecond timescales & single-QD to ensemble measurements. @NatureComms doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-6…

Reading Frankenstein ~30yrs ago sparked my love for science. That's why this Halloween, I'm excited to share my new role as an Asst. Prof. @UCFChemistry! Coming to life Jan '25, @HopperLab will create ultrafast control tools for materials & device (MAD) science #NewPI #FloridaMan

Fabulous to see our paper selected by the editor of @NatureComms for their Editors’ Highlights page! nature.com/collections/wtpqp… Well done @JunzhiYe, Navendu and team!
Thrilled to share our latest work on defect tolerance for hot carriers in halide #perovskite #nanocrystals! rdcu.be/dT4ZK Great work from @JunzhiYe and Navendu Mondal, and collab with @bakulingroup @Polavarapu_Lab and @RaoGroupCAM

📰Out now in @NatureComms rdcu.be/dT448: Hot carriers follow the same rules for perovskite defect tolerance as band-edge carriers, with a little 'push' from @_Navendu_Mondal @ben_carwithen. Great colab with @JunzhiYe @RobertHoye4 @RaoGroupCAM @StranksLab @Polavarapu_Lab

Here, vibrational control of FAPbBr3 perovskite solar cells is demonstrated, where the fast dynamic coupling between cations and inorganic sublattice suppress non-radiative recombinations in perovskites, leading to reduced voltage losses. @bakulingroup go.nature.com/46BREUF

Happy to share I passed my PhD viva last week, and it appears I was just as excited by the balloons afterwards! Thank you to Artem and everyone in the @bakulingroup for a wonderful four years @impchemistry @CPE_Imperial

Thrilled to finally share that I got my PhD!! Wouldn't be possible without the mentorship and support from @bakulingroup @Nicogaspa and the wonderful community @impchemistry. Huge thanks to @jesswade and Frédéric Laquai, who did my viva exam! Onwards to further science adventures

Alice now joins @titiricigroup @Petit_Group @Interfacial_EC as a postdoc working on high-throughput screening of electrocatalysts for green H2 production! First lasers, now robots - seems like the start of a good sci-fi movie... Good luck!!🌟
