Prof. Michael Galperin

We study responses of open nonequilibrium quantum systems to external perturbations. We focus on theoretical aspects of quantum transport and energy transfer in single molecule junctions, molecular optoelectronics and spintronics, nonadiabatic dynamics in open systems, and quantum thermodynamics of systems strongly coupled to their baths.
