Welcome to the Zanni Group!

Immediate openings for postdoctoral positions. Click here.

We develop and utilize ultrafast multidimensional spectroscopies to study topics in biophysics and materials science.

Check out Phasetech Spectroscopy

Prof. Martin Zanni and Dr. Chris Middleton have formed a company, PhaseTech Spectroscopy, to provide multidimensional mid-infrared and visible spectrometers to the scientific research community. The spectrometers are based on pulse shaping technology developed in the Zanni laboratory. See the PhaseTech website, for more information.
