Summary

I am a postdoctoral fellow at UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA. My expertise includes various spectroscopic (time-resolved and steady-state IR, UV-Vis, table top, synchrotron, and XFEL), mass spectrometric (TOF, quadrupole, ion traps), diffraction techniques, and ab initio calculations to probe structure, solvation and dynamics of biomolecules, aromatic hydrocarbons, and artificial photosynthetic molecules.

Molecular Biophysics and Integrated Bioimaging

I use soft and hard X-ray spectroscopy (XAS, XANES, EXAFS, RIXS) and X-ray diffraction to probe the structure and dynamics oxygen evolution reaction of photo-system II and other artificial species. My expertise includes in various analytical methods such as, IR, UV-Vis, fluorescence spectroscopy (time-resolved and steady state), EPR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, DFT and TDDFT calculations. I apply these techniques to understand structure and dynamics of artificial photosynthetic molecules, solvation of biomolecules at a molecular level.
