Research Areas
We investigate the essence of chemical reaction dynamics at the level of motions of electrons and nuclei in molecules. We combine state-of-the-art laser technologies, molecular beams, and imaging to carry out detailed studies on bimolecular reaction induced by collisions and photon-induced dissociation, isomerization and ionization processes. New research program is also directed to solvation effects on chemical reactions in solution and hydration of biomolecules as the basis of life.
