Research Interests

We are interested in studying low-energy electron molecule interactions in the gas phase. To facilitate this, we have developed state-of-the-art instrumentation over the years. We have developed a Velocity Map Imaging (VMI) spectrometer, a spectrometer for absolute cross-section measurement and a pulsed supersonic expansion setup to study molecular clusters. Research in this group involves development of the experimental setup and subsequent experimentation.
