• Our research focuses on the photochemistry and photophysical properties of dyes, dye probes, and chromophore conjugates of polymers and proteins. Design of photosynthetic models (photoactive peptides) that are capable of charge transport is an important theme. Techniques that we employ include laser pump-probe phototransient spectroscopy (ns and ps time scales) and time resolved fluorimetry (ns - ms time scales). Work is also devoted to development of the solid state dye laser, solid state luminescent materials for photonic applications, and dye taggants to be used in bioassays or microbe detection.
