Our group focuses on photo- and radiation- induced fundamental chemical reactions in condensed phase. The goal of our research program is to understand how to control electronic excited states, charge and exciton transfer, and spin dynamics in molecules and molecular assemblies. Our group is also interested in exploiting new knowledge gained to pursue developments of new biomedical imaging and energy technologies. Our research approach is a seamless transition between synthetic chemistry and physical chemistry. We mainly employ time-resolved optical spectroscopy and pulse radiolysis.
