Garth J. Simpson develops advanced optical microscopy and spectroscopy methods, including nonlinear optical (light-based) imaging techniques and infrared/fluorescence microscopy, to study molecules in materials such as pharmaceutical formulations and biological samples. His work often combines new instrumentation with theoretical models and data analysis tools, including machine learning approaches, to detect and characterize molecular structure, mobility, and chirality (a molecule's 'handedness'). Applications include analyzing drug formulations, crystal structures, and water/biological interfaces.
