The Zanni group develops new ultrafast multidimensional spectroscopies to study topics in biophysics and the energy sciences. For example, they developed ultrafast 2D white-light microscopy to study carbon nanotube energy transfer and solar cell charge transfer and rapid-scan 2D Infrared spectroscopy to study the mechanism of protein aggregation in type 2 diabetes. They specialize in scientific problems in which structural dynamics and/or exciton phenomena are important but difficult to understand with more traditional methods. Students can gain a very broad education spanning photovoltaic device construction to laboratory mice imaging, all connected by advanced ultrafast spectroscopies.
