معرفی
Associate Professor Tak Kee is an academic at the University of Adelaide, affiliated with the School of Physics, Chemistry and Earth Sciences within the Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology. His research focuses on using steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic techniques to study molecular processes in curcumin and conjugated polymer nanostructures. Key areas include understanding curcumin's medicinal effects via photophysical processes and metal chelation, and optimizing conjugated polymers for organic solar cells by analyzing energy/charge transfer in nanostructures.
Research Grants: Kee has led significant projects funded by the Australian Research Council (ARC), including Discovery Projects and LIEF grants for advanced spectroscopic facilities. Notable grants include studies on quantum coherences in light-harvesting complexes (2016-2018) and ultrafast dynamics measurement facilities (2010).
Supervision: He supervises Masters and PhD candidates in chemistry, materials science, and nanotechnology. Current students include Md Mokammel Haque, Anoop Sunny, and Zhong-Hua Chen, while past students include Kiara Grasso and Suhanya Seimon.
Laboratory: Kee leads the Laboratory for Femtosecond Spectroscopy, investigating topics like singlet fission, exciton dynamics in conjugated polymers, and nanoparticle photocatalysis. The lab employs techniques like femtosecond transient absorption and fluorescence upconversion spectroscopy.
Expertise: His work bridges chemistry, physics, and materials science, with applications in drug delivery, solar energy, and nanoscale materials engineering.
