Our research group mainly focuses on the designing and synthesis of advanced (particularly AIE-active) conjugated polymers and corresponding nanomaterials for various applications, including optical sensing, point-of-care (PoC) devices, bioimaging, and phototherapy. The members of our research group have gained hands-on experience in polymer synthesis, analytical techniques, as well as in vitro and in vivo antibacterial phototherapy.
