Research interests

Currently my focus of interest is on photochemistry and photophysics of the molecules being prebiotically plausible precursors of ribonucleotides. I study excitation decay channels as well as excitation energy transfer couplings in the nucleic base pairs. Recent publications: Dudek, M., Deiana, M., Szkaradek, K., Janicki, M.
