Research

My research mostly falls under the umbrella of "ultrafast spectroscopy", and I have active projects in a number of areas here. I also assist various people with problems in mathematics, physics, and programming. I am interested in the interaction of light and matter, and particularly how a deep understanding of the complex physics of light interaction can be a powerful tool for revealing information about complex chemical systems. I also work extensively in developing user-friendly computational tools for scientists who process large and complex datasets.

A smaller part of my research is in science education, specifically in developing novel tools and methodologies to help students appreciate the physical sides of chemistry in new ways.

Details of my publications are available on Google Scholar.
