Thank you for entering into my personal web page. I am a theoretician, but have some experience in experimental fluorescence as well. I have written a book on FRET (Fluorescence with Resonance Energy Transfer) with a former student and a former postdoc. I have 35 refereed papers, eight invited chapters, and many abstracts.

My research interests are:

Orientational aspects of FRET (about FRET)
FD biological systems (about FD)
