Natural and Synthetic Designs of Conductive and Responsive Protein Nanowires Abstract: Electronic signals are the default carriers of information in solid-state devices, while biology mainly traffics […]

Research in our group investigates fundamental and applied issues in membrane protein biophysics, alternative energy sources, and nanotechnology. We seek to determine the effect of local environments on chemical reaction dynamics, from cellular membranes to photovoltaic devices to plasmonic nanomaterials. We develop and apply new spectroscopic and microscopic techniques to examine how molecules react, following […]
