Scholar-generated biography
Howe-Siang Tan is a researcher at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, specializing in Ultrafast Spectroscopy, Photosynthesis, and Coherent Multidimensional Spectroscopy. Their work explores quantum biology, particularly in the context of photosynthesis, using advanced spectroscopic techniques to study energy transfer mechanisms in light-harvesting complexes. Tan's research also investigates the dynamics of water at the nanoscale and the role of pulse phase and direction in two-dimensional optical spectroscopy. Their studies contribute to understanding non-radiative relaxation processes and the spectral diffusion of chlorophyll a, with applications in quantum dot systems and coherent spectroscopy methods.
