Andrew Musser is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Cornell University. His research focuses on biophysical materials, emphasizing light-matter interactions in organic materials. He utilizes ultrafast laser spectroscopy to explore the fundamental properties of organic semiconductors, biomolecules, and dyes, which informs the design of next-generation solar cells and LEDs. Musser's work aims to exploit light-matter interactions to modify the properties of organic materials for applications in catalysis and quantum computing. He is involved in several advanced projects, including investigating non-Born-Oppenheimer dynamics, unraveling mechanisms of ‘dark’ triplet states, developing light-enhanced materials, and studying room-temperature quantum information. His academic background includes postdoctoral research at the University of Sheffield and the University of Cambridge, where he focused on innovative spectroscopy techniques and organic material applications.
