Polariton Chemistry

Joel Yuen-Zhou, PhD, is Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of California, San Diego. His research focuses on the theoretical description of interactions between light and molecular matter in the weak, strong, and ultrastrong coupling regimes. His pioneering work on polariton chemistry has been awarded with the NSF Early Career, the DOE Early Career, and the ACS Open Eye awards.

Noel C. Giebink, PhD, is Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Michigan. His research focuses broadly on optoelectronic and photonic devices based on organic materials, with applications in solar energy conversion, solid-state lighting, lasers, and nonlinear optics. He is a senior member of the IEEE and National Academy of Inventors and is a recipient of the DARPA YFA, AFOSR YIP, and NSF CAREER awards.

Raphael F. Ribeiro, PhD, is Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Emory University, Atlanta since 2020. He is a recipient of a Young Investigator Award by the Physical Chemistry Division of the American Chemical Society and a Chancellor’s Research Excellence Scholarship for Postdoctoral Scholars awarded by the University of California, San Diego. His research is focused on theoretical models and simulation of equilibrium and non-equilibrium chemical dynamics in mesoscopic materials.
