The Oliver group uses an arsenal of experimental techniques, including multidimensional ultrafast laser spectroscopies with high temporal and spectral resolution, to investigate ultrafast molecular relaxation dynamics, energy and charge transfer in a range of chemicals, biomolecules, de novo proteins and natural photosynthetic pigment-protein complexes. As well as using established experimental techniques, we also actively develop novel ultrafast experiments.
