Thanks very much for your interest in our research group at the Department of Physics, NUS. We study many fascinating aspects of quantum dynamics and the control of quantum dynamics. Long-term research programs include studies of quantum nonlinear dynamics, quantum control of atomic and molecular processes, quantum open systems, and toplogical phases of matter. Currently, we are primarily interested in

(1) novel nonequilibrium topological matter in periodically driven systems,

(2) nanoscale thermodynamics, fluctuation theorems including their applications in the design of nanoscale heat engine and other energy devices,

(3) control of quantum dynamics and applications in quantum simulation,

(4) fundamental aspects of quantum open systems, and

(5) foundational issues in quantum mechanics, such as quantum-classical correspondence and quantum chaos.
