Professor Bain is a physicist specializing in time-resolved spectroscopy and photophysics of resonance energy transfer in biomolecular systems. His work includes multiphoton spectroscopy and time-resolved fluorescence studies of molecular interactions in condensed phases. He developed novel spectroscopic techniques like stimulated emission depletion (STED) for probing higher-order dipole moment correlation functions and molecular order. His collaboration with UCL Biosciences has advanced the interpretation of fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) data, focusing on redox co-factors and enzyme binding mechanisms. A significant paper he authored, ‘Separating NADH and NADPH fluorescence in live cells and tissues using FLIM,’ has been widely cited. His current research involves investigating the heterogeneity of fluorescent proteins and employing time-resolved polarized fluorescence to clarify anomalous molecular behaviors. Prior to joining UCL, he conducted a D. Phil in Chemical Physics at the University of Sussex and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania, where he analyzed laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy regarding molecular dynamics. He has contributed significantly to the field of nonlinear optics and ultrafast laser techniques during his tenure at the University of Essex and UCL.
