Martin Gruebele has been active in the areas of high resolution spectroscopy and femtochemistry early in his career. Recently, his research has focused on fast protein and RNA folding dynamics, protein-protein interactions and aggregation, vibrational energy flow and its control in organic molecules excited to high energies, and single molecule absorption spectroscopy detected by scanning tunneling microscopy.
The work is published in over 100 articles and book chapters, and recent highlights include experimental proof of the biological energy landscape concept by discovering downhill-folding proteins, and a general quantum theory for the controllability of highly excited molecules.
