Chenjie Zeng Lab
Led by Chenjie Zeng · Chemistry
What we study
The Zeng Lab studies how to build nanomaterials with exact atomic arrangements, extending precision chemistry from single molecules to the nanoscale. They combine careful synthesis, solid‑state physics and molecular‑biology tools to create optoelectronic devices and hierarchical solids, linking structure to property.
