  • Biography

    Martin Gruebele received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in 1988. He is a Professor in the U of I Departments of Chemistry, Physics and Center for Biophysics and a full-time faculty member in the Beckman Institute Nanoelectronics and Nanomaterials group. His fields of professional interest are the dynamics of complex chemical and biological systems, as studied by experimental laser and computational techniques.

  • Honors

Coblentz Award, Coblentz Society (1999); Dreyfus New Faculty Award; NSF National Young Investigator Award; Packard Fellowship; Cottrell Scholarship; Fellow, Center for Advanced Study, UIUC; A. P. Sloan Fellow; Camille and Henry Dreyfus Fellow; University Scholar.

  • Research

    Martin Gruebele's research group uses lasers to study the dynamics of complex molecular systems and electronic and molecular nanostructures.

    Chemical reactions are controlled in a two-step procedure: A high-resolution or femtosecond laser excites a well-defined quantum state of a reactive molecule. A shaped femtosecond pulse then pumps it to a reactive energy surface, where reactivity depends on the nature of the intermediate state and the shape of the second laser pulse. Such experiments allow one to dissect chemical pathways and look at them individually to study reaction mechanisms.

    An important issue related to this is the loss of vibrational coherence in large molecules or in the condensed phase: Excitation energy leaks into undesirable molecular motions before it can lead to a reaction. Gruebele's group is investigating this problem computationally and experimentally. Theoretical and computational advances result in a complete model of energy flow, which predicts that chemical selectivity is possible even in the presence of vibrational relaxation.

    Laser techniques can also be used to study the motions of very large molecules, such as proteins. Presently, Gruebele's group is studying how proteins fold into their native structure on a nanosecond to millisecond time scale. Collaborations with other Beckman faculty include Klaus Schulten and Jeff Moore. The formation of protein molten globule states from an unfolded protein, a process occurring on a time scale of a few microseconds, can now be observed.

    Gruebele's newest research area, in collaboration with Beckman faculty members Brady, Lyding, and Makri, involves the control of electronic energy flow in macromolecular assemblies anchored to Si surfaces. An optical STM technique is used to study molecular switches.

    Gruebele's research support includes several private foundations, as well as grants from the NSF, American Chemical Society, and NIH.
