The group focuses on light–matter interactions in atoms, molecules, and nanomaterials, with particular emphasis on weak intermolecular forces, hybrid light–matter states, optical coherence, multidimensional spectroscopy, and the structural and dynamical signatures of excited states. The laboratory integrates chemical synthesis with advanced spectroscopic techniques—ranging from NMR to ultrafast optical methods—to establish direct connections between spectral responses and nanoscale structure and dynamics. This experimental program is supported by a parallel theoretical effort focused on open quantum systems and the development of new multidimensional spectroscopic protocols.
