The Harvey Research Group focuses on controlling the form and function of colloidal inorganic nanocrystals. As an interdisciplinary group we aim to solve fundamental questions related to spin, magnetism, charge transport, photochemistry, and nanocrystal formation. The materials we study offer innovative solutions to a range of next-generation technology challenges in quantum computing, spintronics, thermal energy storage, and catalysis. Researchers in the Harvey group develop cross-disciplinary skills in wet-chemical nanocrystal synthesis as well as magneto-optical and time-resolved spectroscopies. Their training prepares them to serve as future leaders and scientists. Below are a few research areas we are working on.
