Research Interests
| Light initiated photochemical reactions have played an essential role in the earth’s geological and biological development. Our research group has a defined narrow scope in the design and syntheses of photosensitizing supra-molecular structures that serve as light harvesting (antenna) structures. The molecules we synthesize also possess remote bonding sites that can dock to a desired (molecular) machine and release the collected energy to drive a desired outcome. Application of this class of supramolecular photosensitizers encompasses diverse fields from photodynamic therapy to efficient solar cells. |  |
