1) J-aggregated π-Conjugated Macrocycles. A series of organic macrocycles were synthesized and self-assembled into high PL quantum yield (92%) J-aggregates. These materials exhibited strong light-matter coupling and robust ambient stability. This work was conducted at MIT. (Chan et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2009, 131, 5659-5666)

2) Metal-Catalyzed Depolymerization of Lignin. We reported a non-oxidative vanadium-catalyzed depolymerization of natural lignin. This research was done at UC Berkeley. (Chan et al. ACS Catal. 2013, 3, 1369-1377)

3) Degradable Zwitterionic Polymers. A series of biodegradable water-soluble polycarbonates bearing zwitterionic sidechains were designed and shown to possess multifunctional properties for nanomedicine applications. This work was conducted at IBM Almaden. (Chan et al. Chem. Sci. 2014, 5, 3294-3300)
