The Nesbitt Laboratory pursues research in four main areas:
1) High resolution laser spectroscopy of radicals, ions and molecular ion clusters
2) Chemical Reaction Dynamics: Gas Phase and Interfaces
3) Quantum nanostructures and photonic nanomaterials
4) Single Molecule Biophysics: Microscopy, Kinetics and Thermodynamics
