Research
Transport phenomena involving electrons traveling through small organic molecules have been studied extensively in recent years, especially in the context of molecular electronics and artificial photosynthesis. In an effort to better understand charge transport through organic molecules, especially “wire-like” transport, my research strives to synthesize new Donor-Bridge-Acceptor (DBA) systems to study the effects of quantum interference due to cross-conjugation of the bridge system.
