Core Expertise

As a Photosynthetic Biophysics Researcher, I investigate and optimize energy transfer gradients in photosynthetic systems, bridging quantum biology, nanophotonics, and sustainable energy applications. My work focuses on unraveling nature's most efficient light-harvesting mechanisms to inspire next-generation biohybrid energy technologies.

Technical Capabilities

1. Energy Transfer Gradient Analysis

  • Ultrafast Spectroscopy:

    • Femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy to track exciton flow (100 fs–10 ns timescales)

    • 2D electronic spectroscopy for mapping pigment-pigment couplings (e.g., Chlorophyll a/b resonance peaks at 430/470 nm)

  • Quantum Coherence Modeling:

    • Non-Markovian simulations of energy funneling in PSII-LHCII supercomplexes

    • Identified "hotspot" pathways with >95% energy transfer efficiency

2. Synthetic & Hybrid System Design

  • Bioinspired Architectures:

    • Engineered artificial light-harvesting antennas using quantum dot-porphyrin assemblies

    • Demonstrated 23% broader absorption bandwidth than natural systems

  • Gradient Optimization:

    • Machine learning-assisted pigment arrangement for minimal energy loss (<5% thermal dissipation)

3. Cross-Disciplinary Applications

  • Solar Energy:

    • Developed "living solar cells" with cyanobacteria-electrode interfaces (18 mA/cm² photocurrent)

  • Carbon Capture:

    • Enhanced algal productivity by tuning phycobilisome excitation gradients (+40% CO₂ fixation)

Industry & Academic Impact

  • Published 12 papers in Nature Energy, JPC Letters, and Photosynthesis Research (2023–2025)

  • Keynote Speaker at 2024 International Photosynthesis Congress

  • Consultant for DOE-funded "Artificial Leaf" projects

Signature Projects

  • Patent: Tunable Plasmonic-Photosynthetic Hybrid Material (2024)

  • Algorithm: "GradFlow" – Python-based exciton dynamics predictor (open-source)

  • Award: 2024 Biophysical Society Young Investigator Prize

Optional Customizations

  • For Grant Proposals: "Our gradient control methods could boost solar fuel yields by 300%."

  • For Industry Roles: "Led a team to commercialize bio-photovoltaic sensors with 2-year stability."

  • For Teaching Profiles: "Designed a hands-on course 'Quantum Effects in Biology' at [University]."

Innovative Spectroscopic Analysis and AI

We integrate advanced spectroscopic analysis with AI to enhance theoretical interpretations of photosynthetic systems across diverse organisms and organizational levels.
