Physics
My current focus is a laser methods allowing highly selective ionization of particular molecules, atoms or isotopes from a gaseous sample, aiming for application to medical radioisotopes. I have experience on high resolution spectroscopy of carbon monoxide molecules using the vacuum ultraviolet light, with application in astrophysics. I have experience in atomic spectroscopy and laser cooling and trapping. -
