About
My research project
Non-Markovian master equation for the experimental study of biomolecular excitonsI am studying exciton dynamics in strongly coupled chromoprotein systems, such as those involved in photosynthetic energy transfer of naturally absorbed sunlight in plants and bacteria as well as fluorescence in a variety of marine organisms. To do so, I am working on developing a new non-Markovian open-quantum-systems approach, which optimizes experimental tractability while maintaining microscopic realism of system and bath dynamics. This work aims to improve the compatibility between commonly used experimental spectroscopy techniques and advanced theoretical approaches in quantum biology towards more concrete interpretations of experimental results.

My research interest lies in bridging the gap between theory and experiment in quantum biology towards a clearer understanding of the underlying physics of living systems.
