This description<br>will be performed in terms of high-accuracy Quantum mechanical (QM) calculations that will<br>allow us to capture all needed features of the biological light-harvesting system. Once this<br>description is satisfactory, we will describe the excited state properties and spectroscopic<br>characteristics, allowing us to predict and describe accurately the photochemical properties of<br>the system and its potential for further light-harvesting studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Publications:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&nbsp;Y.&nbsp;M.
