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. Double-resonance spectroscopy for collision studies of energy and polarization transfer.

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE's Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by the Research Foundation for the State University of New York on behalf of Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
