Area of Science:

  • Biophysics
  • Photosynthesis research
  • Cyanobacterial energy transduction

Context:

  • Investigating the functional roles of Photosystem I and cytochrome bf complexes in cyanobacteria.
  • Utilizing hybrid proteoliposomes as a model system to study membrane protein complexes.
