Two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy of plant photosynthetic systems

In this project, we developed a model to simulate the dynamics of Light-harvesting Complex II (LHCII) based on spectra from Ultrafast 2D Electronic Spectroscopy experiment. LHCII is an important component in the photosynthesis process, which acts like an antenna to absorb light energy and transfe...
