Luminous Materials and Devices Group

The research group of Prof. Konstantinos Daskalakis utilizes materials science, solid-state physics, and photonics for improving light-emitting devices and engineering novel materials for lighting applications. We focus on materials and technologies that are inexpensive and environmentally friendly.

Our research covers a broad range of light-emitting device technologies and sub-fields that are scientifically diverse. We use novel bottom-up fabrication techniques and ultrafast spectroscopic and electrical measurements. The devices we can fabricate range from conventional light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and diode lasers to more exotic polariton and plasmonic devices.
