Astrochemist studying the evolution of prebiotic molecules during star and planet formation, combining laboratory molecular spectroscopy and instrument development with radio and far-IR astronomical observations and astrochemical modeling.

Studies the evolution of galaxies and galaxy groups (gas content, Magellanic-type spirals, radio AGN, intergalactic medium) primarily through radio observations.

Studies molecular gas and the interstellar medium in galaxies using radio and millimeter interferometry (e.g., ALMA, CARMA).

Develops multidimensional coherent spectroscopy methods, including label-free multidimensional optical imaging/contrast techniques applied to cancerous tissue and nanoscale heterostructures.

Works on quantum optics and precision atomic physics, including superradiant lasing for next-generation atomic clocks and fundamental studies of light-atom interaction.

Develops nanophotonic optical biosensors and spectral bioimaging techniques (metasurface/photonic-crystal based) for label-free, high-sensitivity molecular detection.

Studies computational classical and quantum electrodynamics, quantum optics, topological photonics, and integrated photonics, including radiative cooling and visual perception applications.

Develops multidimensional (2D IR/visible) ultrafast spectroscopy and new ultrafast optical microscopies, applying temporally- and spatially-resolved coherent spectroscopy to protein structure/dynamics and label-free tissue imaging.

Studies how planet-formation chemistry shapes the composition and habitability of young planets, using molecular line observations (e.g., ALMA) combined with numerical simulations.
