DESCRIPTION:Dr. Emory Chan\nColloidal inorganic nanocrystals exhibit preci
 se morphologies and tunable properties\, making them essential components 
 for nanoscale devices and biological imaging. Our research explores the r
 eaction networks that govern the controlled synthesis of inorganic nanopar
 ticles\, and we investigate the photophysical networks that govern the opt
 ical properties of upconverting nanoparticles. To develop a holistic unde
 rstanding of these intricate networks\, we use combinatorial and high-thro
 ughput robotic techniques to map the dynamics of these networks across mat
 erial compositions and reaction conditions. Using these methods\, we mani
 pulate the energy transfer pathways of lanthanide-doped upconverting nanop
 articles\, which combine near-infrared photons into visible light. Combina
 torial screening and theoretical modeling reveal lanthanide dopant composi
 tions that enable imaging of single upconverting nanoparticles comparable 
 in size to fluorescent proteins and reveal nanoparticle compositions that 
 enable excitation at wavelengths that are used to image through brain and 
 other highly scattering media.
