Research Interests

I am interested in understanding metalloproteins with an active catalytic site with a focus on photosynthetic proteins, as well as the development of biomimetic catalytic systems relevant to the conversion and storage of renewable energies.

Keywords

photosynthesis, protein function, light induced charge separation, proton coupled electron transfer, catalytic reactions, protein binding sites of substrates and cofactors, redox potentials, solar fuels, design of catalytic systems

Methods

infrared spectroscopy, time-resolved spectroscopy, fluorescence methods, serial femtosecond crystallography, X-ray absorption and emission spectroscopy, setup development
