Oral Presentation

In this talk I will present an overview of our work analyzing mega-networks of tryptophan in biological architectures with numerical simulations and steady-state ultraviolet spectroscopy, providing opportunities for control of light-matter interactions in cellular organelles and neuronal bundles. I will then, based on these insights and fundamental physical considerations, consider the...
