Tokmakoff, Andrei, Prof. Dr.

"Prof. Andrei Tokmakoff has pioneered novel methods of ultrafast vibrational spectroscopy. He was first to utilize high order grating techniques for the investigation of the molecular dynamics of chemical and biological processes in solution. This was developed into two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy, which allows to capture information on transient molecular structure and characterize structural variation. For the experiments he has progressed the generation of tunable infrared femtosecond pulses and continues to do so. His experiments are complemented by theoretical work on nonlinear spectroscopy, statistical mechanical modeling of dynamics and relaxation, and molecular dynamics computer simulations."
