معرفی
Joohyun Lee serves as a Research Fellow at Boise State University's Micron School of Materials Science and Engineering, joining the Quantum DNA Research Group in May 2024 to contribute to the DNA Synthesis Construct Team. His research centers on ultrafast molecular dynamics of biological systems using advanced laser spectroscopy techniques.
Dr. Lee completed his Ph.D. at the University of Rochester in Fall 2020 under Dr. David McCamant, investigating UV-excited DNA monomer dynamics through transient absorption and femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy. His doctoral work established foundational expertise in time-resolved spectroscopic methods for nucleic acid photophysics.
His research spans DNA photostability mechanisms and light-harvesting protein dynamics, employing femtosecond spectroscopy to resolve energy transfer and vibrational processes at molecular scales. Current work focuses on quantum effects in DNA synthesis and multi-dielectric energy band diagrams within the Quantum DNA initiative, with implications for bio-inspired solar energy systems and photoprotection mechanisms.
Dr. Lee actively collaborates across the Quantum DNA Research Group's laboratories and teams, integrating experimental spectroscopy with computational approaches to probe quantum biological phenomena in nucleic acids and photosynthetic systems.
