Focus Area
My research is focused on photocatalysis. I investigate the characteristics and interplay of chromophores and catalysts in soft matter matrices, for instance upon insertion in lipid bilayer membranes as well as attached to DNA strands. To this aim, I employ ab initio and DFT electronic structure theory in combination with classical molecular dynamics simulations. This project is part of the DFG Transregional Collaborative Research Center TRR234 CataLight, which aims to develop light-driven molecular catalysts in hierarchically structured materials.
