Dr. Chi Zhang Research Group

We develop novel optical spectroscopy, imaging, and opto-control technologies and apply them to study chemistry in living samples. We use chemical imaging to answer questions in biological and medical sciences and develop new opto-control platforms to precisely control chemical processes in live cells.
