Research in the Wei group lies at the interface of optical spectroscopy, chemical biology and life science. We develop cutting-edge optical spectroscopy and microscopy, in combination with new advances in chemical biology. We apply these new schemes to understand the dynamical physical and chemical processes in living systems.
Ch/BMB 129. Introduction to Biophotonics.9 units (3-0-6); first term, 2022-23.Prerequisites: Ch 21 abc and Ch 125 recommended.
This course will cover basic optics and introduce modern optical spectroscopy principles and microscopy techniques. Topics include molecular spectroscopy, linear and nonlinear florescence microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, coherent microscopy, single-molecule spectroscopy, and super-resolution imaging.
