Research

Andy’s research interests involve using spectroscopic techniques to study electron and energy transfer processes in biology, chemistry, and materials science. He is also engaged in the experimental and theoretical development of time-resolved and nonlinear spectroscopies, optical imaging methods, surface-specific spectroscopies, and Raman spectroscopies. He is interested in the use of optical methods for characterizing soft, biological and chemical materials, and is engaged in the development and applications of thin-film nanostructured self-assembled materials and biomimetic membrane architectures, soft materials for alternative energy applications, as well as protein biophysics and biosensor development.
