The LIGHT Lab (Cao Group) at ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ
From microscale energy carrier transport to macroscale decarbonisation solutions
Our vision
The Laboratory for Integrated Green Harvesting & Transport, the LIGHT Lab (Cao Group), is pioneering the multiscale design of mechanical, biological, and chemical systems powered by multiple driving forces (e.g., light, heat, motion, voltage, plasma, magnetism, ultrasound, microwave) to tackle the global grand challenges in climate and sustainability. We are re-engineering the capture, transport, and conversion of energy by mastering the precision control of energy carriers, such as photons, phonons, and electrons, at the molecular and systemic scales.
