The Griffin group applies spectroscopic and computational methods to characterize electronic dynamics. Our current area of focus is charge and energy transport in conjugated organic materials. By electronic behavior at the molecular level, we aim to improve performance in organic photovoltaic materials and create new organic electronic device architectures based on alternative molecular functionalities. Organic photovoltaics have tremendous potential to reduce the environmental impact of our energy generation infrastructure, if they can be made cost-competitive with conventional, consumable energy sources.
