معرفی
Andrew Musser is an Assistant Professor at Cornell University in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology within the College of Arts and Sciences. His research focuses on leveraging ultrafast laser spectroscopy to study and manipulate light-matter interactions in organic materials for applications in solar cells, LEDs, and quantum devices.
- Education: PhD (University of Cambridge, 2013), MSc (Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, 2010), BS (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007).
His research spans four streams: (1) non-Born-Oppenheimer dynamics via vibrational spectroscopy, (2) triplet state mechanisms in organic materials, (3) polaritons for catalysis and energy applications, and (4) room-temperature quantum condensates. His group has secured DOE funding for polariton research and published in Nature Chemistry, ACS Nano, and Chemical Science.
Recent publications highlight trends in organic polaritons, triplet dynamics, and ultrafast spectroscopy for quantum materials and energy technologies. His team collaborates with researchers like Kanad Majumder and Satish Patil, and he advises PhD students Soham, David, and Yaejin Kim.
Scientific Awards:
- Sloan Research Fellowship recipient (2020)
Advising and Grants: Mentors multiple PhD students; secured DOE funding for polariton research. His lab Light-Matters at Cornell C&CB actively explores ultrafast spectroscopy and quantum device development.
