Research summary

Mike Reppert works in theoretical and computational chemical physics, developing spectroscopic methods—especially two-dimensional infrared (2D IR) spectroscopy—to study molecular vibrations and energy transfer in systems like proteins, chlorophyll assemblies, and light-harvesting complexes. His work often compares quantum and classical descriptions of molecular motion and interactions with their surrounding environment ('bath'), and includes designing model proteins for studying energy transfer. Students would likely engage in computational/theoretical modeling rather than wet-lab experimental work.
