The lab focuses on the development of novel optically active probes ranging from small molecules to nanoparticles, and the development of optical instrumentation for spectroscopy and imaging and their applications in medicine. The central obstacle in optical imaging of biological tissue is the transport of photons through tissue. Photon penetration into living tissue is highly dependent on the absorption and scattering properties of tissue components and significantly increases above 650 nm.
My research interest lies in the investigation and application of molecular excited states and their reactions for medical imaging and clinical treatment. Excited states are the cornerstone of a variety of chemical, physical, and biological phenomena. The ability to probe, investigate, and control excited states is one of the largest achievements of modern science
