The Department of Energy's Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049) awarded a $800,000 project grant to Boise State University to investigate "Probing Coherence Dynamics in Model Systems to Understand Energy Transfer in Photosynthesis." The grant supports fundamental scientific research aimed at advancing the understanding of energy transfer processes in photosynthesis.

The research will utilize femtosecond 2D electronic spectroscopy and femtosecond coherence spectroscopy techniques to study the dynamics of vibronic coherence in DNA-templated dye-aggregate systems. The project involves collaboration with researchers at the University of Houston, who will provide computational modeling support. The goal is to test hypotheses around how the dephasing time and relative amount of ground-state coherence change as the electronic coupling comes into resonance with a vibrational mode. This research could improve the interpretation of excitonic coherences observed in measurements of photosynthetic light-harvesting proteins.
