Research Goal:
A short essay
I:
How much could it be crucial to obtain the right information in the molecular scale, it is equally important to device new tools and methodology for getting the right information. Here we will give emphasis to develop novel analytical methods for physical measurement by exploiting fluorescence spectroscopy, optical imaging and probing concept. Our long term research goal would be to develop technique for single molecule fluorescence detection and manipulation at AUB which will be applied to acquire information hidden in chemistry, physics, biology and medicine at individual molecular level in solution. This will also open the scope to visualize single molecule in a cell and membranes.

A short essay II:
Exploring new phenomenon in chemistry through advancement of modern technology was never as easy as it looks today. Applying advanced spectroscopic tools such as fluorescence probing concept and single molecule manipulation we shall investigate complicated chemical species such as micelle, membrane, protein, macrocyclic molecule, etc. at microscopic and nanoscopic level. The photophysical behavior of probe molecule in these environments will be unearthed while estimating molecular phenomenon like interactions, distances, dynamics, diffusion rates and paths, aggregations, orientations, conformational changes, in solution.

Finally, our research will lead towards nanoscopic investigations applied in nanobiotechnology.
