Research Interest: We develop machine learning (ML) and quantum dynamics (QD) methods to investigate excited state dynamics of molecules within plasmonic nanocavities. Molecules inside the nanocavity interact strongly with the cavity plasmon modes, forming hybrid plasmon-molecule states, commonly referred to as polaritons. Our research explores such polaritonic states and their impact on photocatalysis, energy/charge transfer, and spectroscopy. Conventional treatments based on classical electrodynamics are not adequate for modeling such light-matter interactions. To address this, we employ cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) in our studies. To learn more about my research please visit my Personal Page.
