Congratulations to Frank Huo and @HuoGroup
for publishing their new theory on how quantum effects influence chemical reactions
It's the culmination of 5 years of work on a quantum jigsaw puzzle that has long baffled scientists!

Excited to share this work aiming to explain vibrational strong coupling induced polariton chemistry with @SebMontillo @wenxiang_ying pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…. The analytic theory gives rise to key features of the VSC experiments.

Today, my first optics Ph.D. @MikeTaylorOptic graduated! Mike is an NSF GRFP recipient. His thesis work is related to the quantum theory of light-matter interactions. Mike will head to Los Alamos National Laboratory for his postdoc! Super proud of your achievement!

Today, @wenxiang_ying from my group successfully defended his thesis. Wenxiang's work profoundly impacted our group's way of thinking about molecular polaritons. Wenxiang will head to UPenn and work with the legendary Abe Nitzan for his postdoc. Wenxiang, we'll for sure miss you!

Today, Braden Weight (Ph.D in Physics) defended his thesis and graduated! Braden is my first Physics Ph.D. (and the 4th one in our group)! One of the highlights of his work is actually published in @J_A_C_S ! Braden, great job! Really excited about your next Chapter at LANL!

The second paper in our group published in JCP! Here, we explored a novel mechanism for polariton linewidth broadening in Fabry-Pérot cavities: symmetry breaking of density distribution along the cavity mirror plane. Can we observe it experimentally?doi.org/10.1063/5.0209212
