Research summary
AI-generated

Peigang Chen works on photonics and nanoscale optics, focusing on how light interacts with engineered materials like plasmonic nanostructures, perovskite nanocrystals, and quantum emitters embedded in materials such as silicon nitride and nitrogen-vacancy diamond centers. Much of the work explores ways to control light at very low intensities, including single-photon-level optical switching, and combines experimental measurements with machine-learning tools to design and characterize these devices. Prospective students would likely engage with topics spanning quantum photonics, chiral (handedness-related) light-matter interactions, and nanophotonic device engineering.
