| Focus Area |
| My research interests focus on the theoretical investigation of photochemical and photophysical processes in organic optoelectronics, such as the singlet fission process in dye-sensitized solar cell and molecular machines. I am investigating the unknown process of rotational processes in molecular motors in solutions as well as on metal surfaces using nonadiabatic molecular dynamics simulations in my Lise-Meitner project. |
