Ultrafast Dynamics
Research Field
Dr. Chung-Hsin obtained his Ph.D. from the Department of Molecular and Laser Physics, Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands. Later, he moved to FOM Institute AMOLF (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) and Max-Born-Institute (Berlin, Germany) to conduct postdoctoral research. Afterward, he returned to Taiwan to conduct another postdoctoral research at the Institute of Atomic and Molecular Sciences, Academia Sinica, Taiwan. In 2020, he began his independent research career as an Assistant Professor of the International PhD Program for Science at National Sun Yat-sen University. He also holds a joint appointment in the Department of Chemistry at National Sun Yat-sen University.
We study photodissociation and photocatalytic synthesis mechanisms by various ultrafast spectroscopic techniques, including pump-probe transient absorption and photoion/photoelectron imaging. The acquired transient intermediates, excited-state lifetimes, and product energy distributions help understand the underlying photophysics and photochemistry.
1. TRACKING COMPLEX PHOTOINDUCED DYNAMICS FROM ATMOSPHERIC MOLECULES AND AEROSOLS BY TIME-RESOLVED SPECTROSCOPY.
2. EXPLORING THE INTERMEDIATES AND REACTION MECHANISM OF PHOTO-CATALYTIC SYNTHESIS.
3. LIGHT-INDUCED PARTICLE FORMATION.

Job Description
We are seeking highly motivated students interested in ultrafast dynamics and kinetics of light interactions with molecules and materials. Students who join our lab will have chances to learn how to use the ultrafast laser, the skill of transient absorption spectroscopy, and understand how molecules/materials release their energy or electrons after interacting with light.

Preferred Intern Education Level
Senior undergraduate, master's, and Ph.D. students are welcome to apply.
Skill sets or Qualities
The interns should be highly motivated and with a good background in physics or chemistry. A basic knowledge of physical chemistry is required, while experience in handling lasers and optics is desirable but not essential.
