We pursue functional magnetic materials research at the interface of inorganic, physical, and materials chemistry. Our work centers on the design, synthesis, and characterization of molecular magnetic systems-including coordination complexes, spin-crossover materials, single-molecule magnets, and hybrid nanostructures-engineered to exhibit controllable spin states and advanced magnetic functionality.

Through precise control of ligand fields, exchange pathways, and intermolecular interactions, we target properties such as photo- and electrically induced spin switching, slow magnetic relaxation, spin coherence, magneto-optical activity, and magnetocaloric behaviour. We employ single-crystal diffraction, variable-temperature magnetometry, spectroscopic probes, and device-level transport studies to elucidate structure–magnetism relationships across different dimensionalities.

A major research direction focuses on interface-controlled magnetism, where molecular spin units are integrated with 2D materials to form switchable van der Waals magnetic heterostructures. These hybrid platforms enable tunability of magnetism through external stimuli, cooperative magnetic ordering, and emergent interfacial phenomena.

By combining synthetic chemistry, advanced physical measurements, and interfacial engineering, we aim to develop functional magnetic materials for quantum information processing, low power spintronics, magnetic sensing, and high-density data storage.
