Justin Caram is an Associate Professor in Chemistry at the University of California, Los Angeles, specializing in excitons, shortwave infrared (SWIR) photon correlation microscopy, and quantum coherence in photosynthetic systems. His research explores the dynamics of quantum transport and coherence in light-harvesting complexes, with a focus on understanding how quantum effects enhance energy transfer at physiological temperatures. Caram's work also includes developing advanced imaging techniques using SWIR fluorophores for in vivo applications, such as fluorescence imaging with clinically approved dyes. His studies integrate quantum mechanics with molecular spectroscopy to uncover fundamental principles in excitonic behavior and molecular aggregate design.
