Our group studies the ultrafast dynamics of excited states in nature-inspired molecules using gas-phase time resolved ion yield and velocity map ion imaging spectroscopies along with solution-phase transient electronic and vibrational absorption spectroscopies.

Dave kitted out in PhD attire. Well done Dave (and mum and dad of course). Sorry about the poor picture though. My fault!
27.06.2013 - Adam Chatterley's paper gets the cover of JPCA
Adam's paper makes the cover of issue 25 of Journal of Physical Chemistry A. Congratulations Adam (and Jan Verlet of course!).

Congratulations to Dave on successfully defending his PhD thesis. Well deserved!!
07.02.2013 - Chem. Sci. Publication for Team Stavros
In collaboration with Prof. Mike Ashfold's group (Chemistry, Bristol) and Prof. Martin Paterson (Chemistry, Heriot-Watt), Team Stavros have recently published work on the photodissociation dynamics of a model system, Thioanisole. This work highlights the importance of both purely quantum mechanical phenomena, such as tunnelling, and how dynamics can be controlled with specific vibrational motions in σ* mediated photochemistry. Congratulations all involved!
