Gas-Phase Molecular Dynamics

Research Interests

Chemical Physics:  Molecular dynamics, spectroscopy, photochemistry and kinetics.  Applications of high resolution spectroscopy to molecular dynamics; Doppler spectroscopy for the measurement of product correlations in bimolecular and unimolecular reactions.   Statistical and dynamical models of vector correlations; experimental tests of unimolecular rate theory.   Multiple surface reactions; coherent effects in multiple path reactions; measurement and interpretation of photofragment orientation. Collision-induced electronic transitions.
