Research summary

This researcher studies the ultrafast physical and chemical processes underlying how proteins and enzymes respond to light, such as photoreceptors, flavoenzymes, and photoenzymatic reactions. The work combines advanced laser spectroscopy and electron microscopy techniques to watch electron and proton movements happen on extremely short timescales (picoseconds to nanoseconds) inside biological molecules. This is fundamental biophysical chemistry research relevant to understanding light-driven biology and developing new catalytic or imaging tools.
