Expertise

Research Interests:

  • Charge transfer collisions between slow, highly charged ions and Rydberg atoms
  • Use of a mageto optic trap (MOT) in ion-atom collisions
  • Binary encounter electron (BEe) production in fast ion-atom and ion-molecule/cluster collisions

My research is focused on the study of coherent control of a particular type of cold collision known as photo-association (PA).

Research Area: Atomic, Molecular & Optical Physics


Research interests:

  • Electron capture from Rydberg targets using both high velocity and low velocity ions.
  • Studying binary encounter electrons as a means of obtaining Compton profiles of composite systems such as bucky balls and molecules.
