Jyhpyng Wang is working on high-intensity ultrafast laser technology, laser-driven particle accelerators, and relativistic laser-plasma interactions. The principal experimental facility is an advanced 100-TW laser system he developed together with Szu-Yuan Chen in previous joint projects. The Light-Controlled Materials Fabrication and Application Laboratory led by Szu-yuan Chen is working on developing innovative methods based on optical physics for growing materials and controlling bio-organisms, and apply them to energy technology, optoelectronics, and medicine. The core scheme is to apply multiple light sources of various coherences, wavelengths, and pulse durations to achieve coherent control or selective control in a non-equilibrium system, so as to control the growth or transition of materials or bio-organisms in various hierarchical levels.
Ying-Cheng Chen is working on quantum and nonlinear optics based on electromagnetically induced transparency with cold atomic media, as well as their applications to quantum information science including quantum state storage and processing.
