frontiera lab

ultrafast and nanoscale Raman spectroscopy

Research in our group focuses on developing and applying Raman spectroscopic techniques to determine how nanoscale local environments impact chemical reaction dynamics. Our research is highly interdisciplinary, investigating current problems at the interface of chemistry, biology, and materials science. We firmly believe that science needs a diversity of views and experiences, and we are committed to advocacy while providing an inclusive, collaborative, and respectful environment.
