Research Interests
Various types of time resolved and nonlinear optical spectroscopies to study molecular dynamics. Specific interests include:
Time-resolved infrared spectroscopy to study the structure and dynamics of RNA tetraloops. 2D-IR spectroscopy to study ultrafast (femtosecond) molecular dynamics. Mid-infrared diffuse reflection on ultrafast time scales.
