My research mainly focuses in exploring the energy and electron transfer dynamics in the systems of photosynthetic organisms, as well as understanding the overall energy flow scheme in intact photosynthetic systems, mainly photosynthetic bacteria, using 2D electronic spectroscopy.

• Energy flow throughout entire photosynthetic unit of green non-sulfur bacteria Chloroflexus aurantiacus.
• Generation of artificial signals in 2DES during high rep-rate experiments.

• Diversity of coherences and origin of electronic transitions of supermolecular nanoring
• An atomistic approach to fluctuations of LH2 transitions energies
• Vibronic coupling in chlorophyll type molecules
• 2D electronic spectroscopy of porphyrin nanorings
