We are the research group of Professor Jen Dionne at Stanford. We explore new ways to control the interaction of light with matter. We aspire to build a world where diseases like cancer, tuberculosis, and Alzheimer’s are detected and cured with light; where light drives sustainable chemical and catalytic reactions; and where quantum computing enables trillions of operations in the blink of an eye. We strive to make that future a reality by developing new nanophotonic materials, methods, and devices.

Our diverse team spans materials scientists, chemists, physicists, synthetic biologists, electrical engineers, chemical engineers, bioengineers, and mechanical engineers — all working together toward our shared vision.
