In this experimental physical chemistry laboratory, we are attracted to problems in complex systems and study them at the most fundamental level: single molecules and single particles. We aim to attain a first-principles and predictive understanding of chemical dynamics of single stochastic entities. We study them from four perspectives: from an observer's perspective, from an engineer's practical considerations, from Nature's side, and from a physicist's point of view. We conceive and implement new instrumentation concepts, design original experiments, and, when needed, develop practical theoretical and computational tools to interpret the results. These advances open new ways of thinking about molecular and chemical dynamics.

Recruiting: We are looking for experimentalists. Holders of physics and engineering degrees are particularly encouraged to apply.

Specific Areas: See the Current Research Areas panel.
