Research
We build physically transparent theories that make the hardest condensed-phase simulations fast, tractable, and interpretable.
Experiments now resolve matter with unprecedented time and energy resolution. Our models turn that data into understanding we can use to manipulate the optical, electronic, and quantum properties of complex systems.
Biophysical Transformations Across Timescales
Slow, rare conformational changes in biomolecules drive disease. We build the theory to see them.
Our methods reach the long timescales that standard simulations miss, revealing the molecular mechanisms of disease and the design principles for molecular treatments.
Out-of-Equilibrium Energy Flow
We decode spectroscopies and microscopies to steer how charge and energy move through materials.
From ultrafast carrier dynamics to trions in 2D semiconductors and symmetry breaking in molecules, we connect theory directly to experiment for solar energy conversion and electrocatalysis.
Quantum Sensing for Next-Generation Imaging
We turn decoherence from a limitation into a measurement.
Our tools for precision quantum metrology measure temperature, magnetic, and electric field fluctuations in microscopic environments, from quantum devices to molecular magnets and living systems.
Mori-Zwanzig Theory
We project complex many-body dynamics onto the variables that matter, with controllable accuracy.
Bottom-up and data-driven, our approaches span semiclassical theory, quantum transport, multidimensional spectroscopy, and even weather and climate.
Key publications
- Data-driven, non-Markovian modelling of weather in the presence of non-stationary, non-Gaussian, and heteroskedastic climate dynamics
- How to improve the accuracy of semiclassical and quasiclassical dynamics with and without generalized quantum master equations
- Space-local memory in generalized master equations
- Efficient formulation of multitime generalized quantum master equations
We build the tools these frontiers demand
Each of these problems is out of reach for standard methods. So we develop new ones, lowering the cost of hard simulations by orders of magnitude while keeping the physics interpretable.
