Research: I am interested in the structural and conformational characterization of a variety of systems ranging from small molecules (Sugar) to biomolecules (Proteins) using spectroscopic tools like linear infrared and nonlinear 2D IR spectroscopy. To understand the site-specific conformation and dynamics different probes (CD, CN, and CO) are incorporated/utilized to gain knowledge of the selected region. Interests: I like to travel to explore the culture and cuisine.

Research: I study protein dynamics of molecular recognition within Src homology 3 (SH3) domains. This entails a blend of bioanalytical techniques and linear FT-IR, using site-specific labeling of proteins and peptides with non-perturbative IR probes (carbon-deuterium bonds), having been implemented to study this system. Interests: I like to paint and cook in my free time and enjoy the mountains!
