Solar Conversion

The goal of this program is to identify the mechanisms responsible for optimization of photochemical energy conversion in natural photosynthesis, and to use this information for the development of artificial photochemical systems with enhanced photochemical energy conversion.

Project areas include:

• Hierarchical Photosynthetic Systems for Photochemical Energy Conversion
• Structure and Light-Induced Structural Dynamics in Natural Photosynthesis
• Structure and Light-Induced Structural Dynamics in Photosynthetic Model Systems
• Ultrafast Spatial Imaging of Solar Energy Flow In Photosynthesis
