Research Interests
Dr. Ariel Alperstein’s lab works towards improving ultrafast vibrational spectroscopy so that super-resolution microscopes can be built. These nonlinear techniques provide detailed chemical environment information and real-time kinetics, but do not yet have the spatial resolution to give sub-micron information. Her group will employ new design approaches for improving the resolution of two-dimensional infrared (2DIR) microscopy and stimulated Raman spectroscopy (SRS).
