My research focuses on modelling optical spectroscopic results (mainly of photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes). By modelling the spectra of light-harvesting complexes, we can learn a lot about the quantum design principles that make the initial phase of photosynthesis so effective. I approach my research using a combination of experimental techniques and computer simulation. I enjoy setting up models to simulate molecular energy transfer events, as this process requires one to think critically in order to gain a fundamental understanding of our complex, beautiful world. Biophysics offers the best of two fields: the complex beauty of biology and the rigor of physics.
