DUANLAB for M-ART

Materials with Asymmetry, Responsiveness, and Tunability

RESEARCH

M-ART Lab investigates the relationship between asymmetric material structures and their responsive functions. Our research is organized into three core directions.

Asymmetric Interfaces & Adaptive Energy Materials

We engineer chiral-functionalized interfaces in optoelectronic devices—especially perovskite-based devices—to enhance mechanical resilience, electronic selectivity, and long-term stability. Our research emphasizes interfacial reconstruction and the development of stimuli-responsive energy materials for next-generation device applications.


Circularly Polarized Light Platforms for Information & Imaging

We develop responsive materials with circularly polarized light (CPL) activity—ranging from chiral quantum dots to their hierarchical assemblies—to enable advanced optoelectronic platforms. Our research focuses on CPL-enabled LEDs, sensors, and chirality-encoded photonic devices, with particular emphasis on scalable fabrication methods and tunable, dynamic switching behaviors.


Quantum Chirality & Spin-Orbital Modulation

We explore low-dimensional chiral semiconductors, particularly those derived from perovskite systems, to investigate their unique spin–orbit coupling characteristics and chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS). By leveraging structural asymmetry and light–matter interaction, we aim to better understand and tune spin filtering, spin-polarized transport, and coherence phenomena in solid-state materials.


Lab Core Values

At M-ART Lab, we are dedicated to the design and exploration of asymmetric, responsive, and tunable materials for next-generation optoelectronic and energy applications.

Our research weaves together chemical synthesis, symmetry-breaking phenomena, and device integration, while cultivating a mindset that values structure, function, and the beauty of scientific asymmetry.

We foster a culture of mutual support and open communication, where every member learns from each other and receives support from the PI. Our lab is committed to not just advancing scientific knowledge, but also encouraging personal and intellectual growth, and nurturing a sense of integrity and purpose in each individual’s journey.
