Research Interests

My research group develops and applies advanced spectroscopic tools across the electromagnetic spectrum to probe and control the quantum states of complex molecular systems isolated from their environment. We combine microwave and optical frequency comb light sources with cavity-enhanced spectroscopy and cold-molecule techniques to measure and manipulate exotic and reactive molecules, including ions, radicals, metal-ligand complexes, and nanoscale molecular platforms. Much of our experimental work is crucially advanced by closely coordinated theoretical studies using quantum chemical methods developed by our group. This joint approach allows us to address problems in fields ranging from materials and many-body physics to astrochemistry and quantum molecular science from a rigorous molecular perspective grounded in high-precision spectroscopy.
