Summary

Chris is a graduate researcher in the Tucker Group at University of Nevada, Reno. His work focuses on using ultrafast spectroscopy to investigate the vibrational coupling and energy transfer pathways within molecular systems. One such system of interest is on Single-Molecule Magnets (SMMs), whose magnetic moments are known to relax through small molecular vibrations.
