Bilkent University National Nanotechnology Research Center’s (UNAM) Asst. Prof. Wonmi Ahn has been granted funding as a part of the TÜBİTAK’s 2247-A National Leading Researchers Program.
Asst. Prof. Ahn’s project aims to investigate polaritonic effects on molecular properties by generating strong optical cavity fields coupled to molecular vibrations. The project aims to develop novel plasmonic and nanophotonic resonators through top-down and bottom-up nanofabrication methods. Using optical and molecular spectroscopy, the cavity-modified material properties will be characterized, which have wide-ranging implications in chemistry and materials science.
The TÜBİTAK 2247-A program supports pioneering researchers whose projects contribute to Turkey’s scientific advancement and foster growth in the field of research and development by providing essential funding.
