perylene imide trimer

remote sensing versus traditional detection

The core of my research is the photophysics of perylene imides. Perylene derivatives are popular dyes with colors ranging from red to orange to black. The interesting  spectroscopic behaviors of those specices include the formation of excimers or exciplexes. Both steady-state and time-resolved fluorescent spectroscopy are the main tools for investigation. The ultimate target of the project is to apply those photoinduced phenomina to the devices of sensings, such as temperature sensors.
In the meanwhile, another research interest of mine (part-time) is to study the laser-stimulated emissions of gases and aerosalized materials, which can be potentially used in the area of remote sensings.
