|
1991-1994
|
Post-Doc,
Institute
of Physical Chemistry, Technical University of München
During this time, I continued my spectroscopic investigations of bacterial
reaction centers, extended them to Photosystem II
of plants, did first experiments on DNA-photolyase
and more theoretical work on the magnetic field effect in photosynthetic
reaction centres.

1994-1996
|
Post-Doc, Chemistry
Department, University
of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, USA
(supported by a research fellowship of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft)
With Prof. R.M. Hochstrasser, I performed
experimental studies on ultrafast relaxation processes in solution, such as
folding of small peptides, energy relaxation in proteins and coherent
motions of small molecules after photodissociation.
For that purpose, I built a transient absorbance spectrometer for
wavelengths in the range 270 nm - 10 mm with 100 fs time resolution, which was based on a Ti:sapphire laser system.

Research
Associate, Institute of Physical Chemistry, Technical University of München
With Prof. M.E. Michel-Beyerle, I investigated
proteins and model compounds using time-resolved absorbance and
fluorescence spectroscopy. For this purpose, I built a spectrometer for
measuring transient absorbance changes on the 100 fs
time scale in the visible and IR region (400nm - 10mm).
