Our group's research focuses on the molecular structure and dynamics of surfaces and condensed phase interfaces. Two complementary aspects of our research program are (1) development of new surface-selective laser spectroscopy techniques and (2) application of these techniques to study molecular structure (e.g., conformation), organization (orientation, packing, self-assembly), and dynamics of molecular motions in the condensed phase. We are interested in systems important in life sciences, material science, solar energy (photovoltaics), nano- and bio-technology.
