Our Mission

The frontier in renewable energy and quantum information research lies in designing functionalities from nanostructured and molecular components.  One vital challenge we are faced with is integrating functional entities to achieve optimal energy flow. Our approach focuses on elucidating  energy flow across various length and time scales. We are using a combination of ultrafast spectroscopy and optical microscopy to simultaneously couple high spatial, structural, and temporal resolutions.
