Your research in 50 words or less:
My research surrounds imaging excited states of nanomaterials using laser-assisted scanning tunneling microscopy. Our previous work has focused on investigating excited state properties of materials including quantum dots and carbon nanotubes, while a more recent collaboration with the Badding group allows us to explore excited state features of carbon nanothreads.
