Research Statement: Our group is working on high-resolution infrared microscopy for studying biological systems. Images are obtained by using a Scanning Near-field Infrared Microscope, based on a tunable infrared laser. The pulse width of the laser is about 100 femtoseconds, which is useful for studying ultrafast dynamics in biomolecular systems.
