Youn jue (Eunice) Bae

I am an assistant professor in the chemistry department at Cornell University. During my undergraduate study at the University of California, Berkeley, I became super excited about laser spectroscopy after working with Prof. Stephen Leone. I studied a single quantum dot blinking and fell in love with laser excitation and light emission! During my PhD at Northwestern University with Prof. Michael Wasielewski, I got to learn about the role of spins in the multiexciton generation process in organic molecules. Since then, I became more interested in spins and started my postdoctoral research in 2D magnetic materials at Columbia University in Prof. Xiaoyang Zhu’s group. In my group, I hope to navigate the intricate interplay of spins, lattices, and electrons in various magnetic materials using light.

Nicholas Brennan

I am a graduate student in the Department of Physics interested in studying correlated electronic systems using light. I completed my undergraduate coursework in Physics with a secondary in Computer Science at Harvard in 2023. There I worked on various projects involving pump-probe spectroscopy on quantum materials as well a temperature-dependent Raman spectroscopy study with the Mitrano group. Outside of the lab, I enjoy cooking and going on long walks around the Ithaca region. Email: njb245[at]cornell.edu

Jiacheng Tang

I'm a postdoctoral researcher interested in studying many- or few-particle processes in low-dimensional systems. I completed my PhD advised by Prof. Cun-Zheng Ning at Tsinghua University. During the PhD I worked on spectroscopic observation of three- and four-particle interactions for electron-hole system. Outside of lab, I enjoy hiking, reading, and coding.

Yuchen Yang

I'm a sophomore undergraduate student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Cornell University. I am interested in developing new method to optically write and read out information using magnon-exciton coupling. Email: yy2236[at]cornell.edu

William Xie 

I am a graduate student in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, co-advised by Professor Bae and Professor Zhong from the Department of Materials Science & Engineering. I am interested in studying Applicable Polymer Materials with special features in Chirality, Photoactivity, and Conjugation, and also in research on Molecular Qubits. I completed my undergraduate studies in Chemistry with minors in BME and STATS at THE Ohio State University. I conducted research on Supramolecular Chemistry, specifically on Host-Guest Chemistry with Molecular Cages, at the Badjic Group, and also worked on Spine Tissue Engineering Research at the Purmessur Group. Outside of labs, I love doing music production, and also love playing badminton. Email: yx599[at]cornell.edu. 

Chang Chang 

I'm a senior undergraduate student in the Department of Physics at Shandong University, interested in condensed matter physics. I previously focused on strongly correlated transport phenomena in graphene. Currently, I am studying optics and exploring magnon dynamics in the Bae Lab. Outside of lab, I enjoy playing badminton and taking walks. Email: cc2849[at]cornell.edu

Super amazing researcher:

this can be you!
