The Zanni Group studies topics in biophysics and the energy sciences using 2D IR spectroscopy. We have research projects underway on carbon nanotube energy transfer, solar cell charge transfer, and the mechanism of protein aggregation in type 2 diabetes. We specialize in scientific problems in which structural dynamics and/or interfacial phenomena are important. Systems that have these characteristics are very difficult to study with more traditional structural methods, and so our techniques often provide some of the best available structural and dynamical information. We are also very active in developing the technology behind multidimensional spectroscopies.
