Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher works at the intersection of physical chemistry and biophysics, using spectroscopy and computational modeling to study vibrations and electronic structure in proteins and organic materials. Recent work focuses on infrared spectroscopy techniques for probing protein structure, electrostatic modeling of chlorophyll proteins, and crystal structure determination of new chemical compounds. Earlier work examined electronic properties of organic semiconducting materials like polythiophene.
