Biography
Dr. Hoang is an experimentalist with a broad research interest in the areas of materials science and nanophotonics. He uses various spectroscopic techniques such as photoluminescence (PL), Raman, time-resolved PL, pump-probe, dark-field scattering analysis to explore optical and electronic properties of materials at reduced dimensions as well as fundamental properties of light-matter interaction at the nanoscale where nanomaterials are integrated with optical platforms.
Research Interest
Prof. Hoang research interests span the broad areas of materials science and nanophotonics. In the area of materials science he is interested in using linear and non-linear optical spectroscopies to study opto-electronic properties of novel materials and structures at the nanoscale, including two dimensional dichalcogenides, semiconductor nanowires and quantum dots. In the areas of nanophotonics , including plasmonics, he is interested in combining the miniaturized dimensions of novel materials with the high speed data rates and enhanced bandwidths achieved by photonic and plasmonic devices. These research fields hold great promises towards the practical implementation of next generation of optoelectronic devices such as high efficiency solar cells and photodetectors, ultra-broadband optical communications, optical processing and sensing.
