The Larsen Lab

In the Larsen Lab, we seek to harness visible light to solve global issues in energy, sustainability and health.

We specialise in the synthesis, spectroscopic characterisation and photochemical application of novel photoactive compounds (organic molecules, coordination compounds, supramolecular ensembles) with targeted properties for emerging photophysical, photochemical and photobiological applications – including conversion of solar energy to chemical fuels, photochemical catalysis, photon upconversion and photoactivated chemotherapy.
