Phototechnology Innovation lab
at UBC
We create photochemical materials, technologies, and devices
to make new sources of energy and to monitor & protect the environment
The broad impact of our research is evident from the intellectual property generation, technology transfer, innovative product development, and the launch of a cleantech company.
These achievements are also demonstrated in the training of researchers, who progress to technical and leadership positions in industry and academia.
Photo-activated Sensors and Biosensors
Transforming any smartphone/smartwatch to a Biosensor for health monitoring and Sensor for environmental monitoring.
Photoreactors for Water & Air Purification
Developing novel materials and photoelectrochemical devices for making clean water and air.
Artificial Photosynthesis & Solar Fuels
Creating engineered solar fuel generators for the photocatalytic production of hydrogen and value-added chemicals
Computational Modeling of Photochemical & Biological Systems
Integrate fundamental physical models with computational models for virtual prototyping and design optimization of photoreactors
