Projects

Our research interests are in the general areas of molecular clusters, gas phase and cluster polymerization, nucleation phenomena and nanostructured materials. The major goal is to gain insights as to how the properties of matter evolve as the size of a material system ranges from molecular to macroscopic dimensions. Research is under way in three areas, each involving a variety of experimental techniques (molecular beams, lasers, mass spectrometry, and light scattering) with close collaboration with modern theoretical approaches.
New experiments including; differential mobility analysis of nanoparticles, gas phase catalysis on nanoparticles, and mass-selected cluster-ion-mobility mass spectrometry, have recently been initiated. Opportunities for exciting new research are opening up continuously.

The links to left will lead you through a tour of our research facilities, and introduce you to the general topics of interest in our research group. Spend some time, look around and enjoy.
