My research group specializes in time-resolving energy flow and structural dynamics using a class of techniques called ultrafast 2D spectroscopies and microscopies. For example, we are studying the mechanism by which proteins form amyloid fibrils using 2D Infrared spectroscopy and are investigating exciton dynamics in photovoltaics using 2D Electronic spectroscopy. We have contributed many technological innovations to the field and I co-founded a company to commercialize these new spectroscopies.
