Minjung Son

Minjung Son is an assistant professor of chemistry at Boston University, in Boston, Massachusetts. Son’s group investigates the fundamental photophysical processes that govern how energy and charge move through molecular, material, and biological systems. Using ultrafast optical spectroscopy and microscopy, the team studies the dynamics underlying these processes. Son’s group also develops advanced nanomaterials and hybrid photonic materials known as polaritons to uncover new photophysical phenomena and better understand structure–property relationships relevant to functionality and energy conversion applications.
