What We Do

We’re unmasking the coherent quantum mechanical flow of electronic excited states and chargesalong with their coherent spin-spin interactionsin precisely tailored nanostructures and molecules.

Long term, our work will exploit coherence to harvest and transmit energy and information via novel quantum mechanical mechanisms and develop new ways for doing chemistry.

What We Study

Our research covers two main themes within quantum coherence.

Molecule icon

Molecules and Chromophore Aggregate Systems

We explore how symmetry breaking in molecules impacts spin coherence.

Nano icon

Nanoscale

We examine the lossless flow of energy through nanostructures.

Work With Us

Our goal is to provide world-class, cutting-edge training to postdocs and graduates students through innovative research, in-depth mentoring, and specialized training.
