Molecular Vibration Imaging Lab · Fudan University

Peering into the rhythms of matter

We develop infrared and Raman imaging tools that reveal how individual chemical bonds move, interact, and change.

At Fudan University, we study light–matter interactions to uncover molecular structure and dynamics across materials, chemistry, and biology—from ensembles to the single-molecule scale.
