Research Interests
Non-invasive laser spectroscopic analysis and characterization of novel materials including biological systems and those with reduced dimensionality. The primary investigative techniques employed include ultra-high resolution Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy, Raman scattering spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy which, collectively, provide detailed information on the elastic, structural and optical properties of the target material. Systems of current interest include 2D semiconductors (transition metal dichalcogenides), porous silicon-based heterostructures, and biological materials systems, particularly virus crystals.
