Keywords microwave spectroscopy of metal-containing molecules
Areas of expertise My research applies microwave spectroscopy to quantify fundamental molecular interactions which have broad significance throughout many areas of chemistry and biology. I recently constructed a chirped-pulse, FTMW (Fourier transform microwave) spectrometer which allows the acquisition of broadband microwave spectra. I work with members of the Bristol Centre for Computational Chemistry who apply accurate theory to complement and inform our experimental measurements.
