The primary focus of our research efforts is the elucidation of the structure and dynamics of photo-generated transient species. We have concentrated on two important photochemical systems: relaxation processes in electronic materials, and energy and electron transfer in biophysical systems. A common thread that is emerging from our studies is the role of molecular conformation in determining both the chemical reaction pathways and the subsequent dynamics. Our research involves understanding the relationships among molecular structure, photoluminescence, and the photophysics of electronic materials in order to predict the luminescence behavior and to control the electroluminescence properties at the molecular level.
