Adam D. Wright

Today I started as an Assistant Professor at @WarwickPhysics! I'll be researching the intersection between polaritons and perovskites, building on the great experiences I had at @TheWeichmanLab & @GroupHerz. Watch this space for news and opportunities as I start with @WarwickTHz!

I have a PhD opening (Oct. 2024), with various projects in ultrafast spectroscopy & materials chemistry. If you want to play with lasers & exploring the quantum world/unique materials in a collaborative team - this is for you!  Please spread the word/RT!! tinyurl.com/2p8da9pm

Just got to Boston for #MRSFall2023 and am looking forward to both catching up and making new connections! My talk is EN05.13.08 on Thursday at 4pm.

Join me @KingsCollegeLon in the heart of London to develop next generation photovoltaics. A fully funded PhD opportunity for UK and EU Students to develop multi-junction perovskite photovoltaics using physical vapour deposition. Find out more below👇 tinyurl.com/4brwwwwr

Join us! There is a fully-funded PhD studentship in my group working on our levitated microdiamond experiment towards (eventually) a test of the quantum nature of gravity. I will also soon be advertising a 3-year postdoc job on this project. warwick.ac.uk/gavinmorley/va…

@WarwickPhysics The funding is for a UK student, but may be extendable to an exceptional overseas applicant.

I have a funded PhD studentship starting in October 2024 on polaritonic effects in metal halide perovskites @WarwickPhysics. Please spread the word to any potentially interested students! findaphd.com/phds/project/p…

@PV_Physicist Congratulations!

I am honoured and delighted to receive the 2024 Hertha-Sponer-Prize of the German Physical Society! ☺️

I'm very grateful to my co-authors in the @TheWeichmanLab, @janenelson88 and my former PI @MarissaWeichman! #polaritons #JCP #Princeton #Chemistry #AVersatilePlatformForGasPhaseMolecularPolaritonics

We were able to control the polariton linewidths and per-molecule coupling strengths, and couple a CH₄ transition to multiple cavity modes at once. We also achieved gas-phase strong coupling of molecules at room temperature, lowering the entry barrier to follow-up studies!

I'm very happy to share my last work with @PrincetonChem, just published in @JChemPhys, in which we demonstrate the extended capabilities of our gas-phase molecular polariton platform: pubs.aip.org/aip/jcp/articl…

For the first time, Stanford researchers, featuring Prof. Hema Karunadasa, have found a way to create and stabilize an extremely rare form of gold that has lost two negatively charged electrons, denoted Au2+. Learn more: bit.ly/3txub9q

Looking for a postdoctoral researcher to join my computational materials science group!!! Additional details about the research, the requirements, and the application process can be found at jobs.ncsu.edu/postings/191229.

Solar energy is a very active field that has seen great technological progress and is making a big impact as a solution to the climate crisis. Unfortunately occasionally new solar energy concepts pop-up that promise huge improvements but are physically impossible. #solarenergy

@TheWeichmanLab Thank you! I miss you all so much already!

We are so proud of Adam and miss him already! Follow him for news from the Wright group!

We have another polariton paper out on the arXiv today! Adam and Jane follow up on the versatility of our gas-phase molecular polariton apparatus. Changing cavity geometries, mirrors, and temperature... check out the details here: doi.org/10.48550/arXiv…

The first paper of our solution-phase polariton project is now on arXiv! They studied a hydrogen abstraction reaction under strong coupling conditions. 🧪👀💫 Check out the work of Ashley, Liying, and Alex here: arxiv.org/pdf/2307.04875…

We are at the Strong Coupling of Organic Molecules conference at UCSD! Come check out Ashley’s talk (tomorrow) and Jane’s poster (today) to hear about VSC in our lab!

New work on how getting rid of my wiggles in FAPbI3 makes for more efficient perovskite solar cells!

Exciting news! Our work at @UniofOxford @SnaithGroup on stabilizing the leading material for producing world-record solar cell efficiencies is just published in @acsJACS 🧵👇
