Research
Photochemistry, Biophysics and Ultrafast spectroscopy
Photochemical reactions power some of the most important biological processes (e.g. photosynthesis, photoreception, etc.). Furthermore, they have increasing importance
in improving our quality of life (e.g. health care, ‘green’ energy and chemistry, etc.). My research is focused on
the studying the molecular mechanisms of photoinduced processes such as light
