Research summary
AI-generated

Meng-Jia Sun's research focuses on light-emitting molecular materials, particularly how crystal structure and molecular arrangement affect glow-in-the-dark (phosphorescence) and fluorescence properties. Much of the work involves designing organic and metal-containing (platinum, iridium, ruthenium) crystals and studying how energy moves between molecules to produce or enhance light emission. Some publications also touch on catalysis for energy applications, such as water splitting and converting carbon monoxide into useful chemicals.
