Wei
has
developed
novel
2D
IR
techniques
and
applied
them
to
different
scientific
problems.
Recently,
he
developed
heterodyned
shaper-­‐based
time
domain
SFG
spectroscopy
and
the
world's
first
heterodyned
2D
SFG
spectrometer.
He
looks
forward
to
using
this
technique
on
systems
such
as
materials
and
surface
peptides.
Wei
is

and
applying
it
to
both
gas
and
liquid
phase
samples.
Wei
