At the Rowland, the Fischer Lab had broad interests in the interaction of optical, electric, and magnetic fields with matter. Their particular focus is symmetry breaking & chirality, ranging from the molecular to the nano/micro-scale. Their research was therefore quite interdisciplinary and included light-matter interactions, absolute asymmetric synthesis, low Reynolds number hydrodynamics, and the fabrication of nano-structured materials. They observed a number of fundamental effects and have developed new experimental techniques and instruments.
