Tian Qiao

Tian Qiao is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The Qiao group specializes in synthesizing low-toxicity colloidal quantum dots (QDs) with precise size control and high photoluminescence quantum yield in the short-wave infrared (SWIR, 900-1700 nm) range.

• Research Focus: Developing cost-effective optical sensing solutions (e.g., for autonomous driving) and integrating colloidal quantum emitters with photonic structures using chemistry-driven engineering.

Key Research Areas: Nanomaterials, Optical spectroscopy, Colloidal quantum dots, IR emitters, and Optical sensing.

Labs/Teams: The Qiao group advances applications of colloidal QDs in sensing and photonic integration.
