How to disentangle excited states in a giant antenna complex? In collaboration with Tjaart Krüger and @michal_gwizdala, Lorenzo Cupellini studied the energetic landscape in the phycobilisome of cyanobacteria doi.org/10.1021/acs.jp…

It was such a pleasure working on this with @michal_gwizdala and Lorenzo Cupellini! We presented the first elaborate QM/MM calculations of 2 important phycobilisomes, revealing many insightful details and challenging the current view of excitation energy redistribution in the cores.

Very excited to be ELI Beamlines – a brief stop commencing my 3-month sabbatical. Great equipment, great science, great people!!

HAPPENING NOW Biophysics in Africa Monthly Colloquium Zoom Registration --> us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.”

The PicoQuant workshops are always fantasic! A whole workshop on #singlemolecules! It was great meeting many new people at #WS29, give a talk on real-time #SingleParticle #Tracking, and present our new open-source data-analysis package.

Excited to be part of this fantastic development! Raspberry Pi
