We are the research group of Prof. David L. Carroll. Our research work focuses on “Quantum Matrix Composites.”  These materials are based on spatially correlated arrays of quantum-functional nanomaterials, within an electroactive host.  Local symmetries, degrees of freedom, and length scales lead to a rich assortment of interactions within the nanodot or nanowire architecture.  We specifically seek to understand the quantum-cooperative behavior that results.  

Our group also explores how these materials might lead to the development of technologies in:

1. 1) Power: photovoltaics, PV/T, lighting and display systems, piezo-thermoelectrics.
   

2. 2) Medicine: cancer therapeutics, sensor technology, and biological-electronic interfaces (Bionics).
   

We are a proud part of the Center for Nanotechnology and Molecular Materials at Wake Forest University. Our group offices are located at 501 Deacon Blvd. in Winston-Salem NC. 27105
