RESEARCH INTERESTS

Dr. Qing Zhang’s research is motivated by understandinglight-matter interactionofoptoelectronic materials in nanoscaleand their applications in nanophotonics and optoelectronics. Her group at Peking University is committed to the fabrication, and photophysics of metal halide perovskite and two dimensional semiconductors as well as their applicationsfor nanolasers, sensors and so on. Recently, Dr. Qing Zhang’s group has studied the strong exciton-photon interaction of lead halide perovskitecrystals, with the recent demonstration of room temperature exciton polariton,continuous-wave pumped lasingand Bose-Einstein Condensationof perovskitecrystals. Her group has also exploredexcitonic and optical properties of two dimensional semiconductors such as MoS₂, InSe, with emphasis on the novel properties under high pressure and lasing sources.
