Research Interests
The focus of our research interests is
two-fold:
- Developing a molecular-level
understanding of the dynamics of chemical reactions occurring in
solution, and;
- Gaining a deep, detailed insight into the
dynamics and
mechanisms of ultrafast (femto- and picosecond) photoinduced processes.
In our research, we use state-of-the art experimental methods of
ultrafast, time-resolved spectroscopy.
