Luis M. Campos

Luis M. Campos is a Professor of Chemistry at Columbia University, affiliated with the Department of Chemistry. His research focuses on exploiting nanostructured materials for advanced functional systems, particularly in renewable energy and medicine. Key areas include singlet fission in polymers, CO2 capture using cyclopropenimine-based materials, and triplet fusion upconversion for optoelectronics. His group develops strategies for fabricating highly ordered materials through bottom-up and top-down manufacturing techniques.

Research interests span materials chemistry, organic synthesis, and interdisciplinary applications in energy and nanomedicine. Recent work emphasizes sustainable polymers, light-induced adaptive networks, and mechanistic studies of multiexciton dynamics in organic chromophores.

Selected publications highlight breakthroughs in singlet fission mechanisms, Kondo effect in molecular junctions, and CO2 capture technologies. The lab collaborates on projects related to photovoltaic materials and biodegradable polymers for medical applications.
