Research Interests

The research is concerned primarily with molecular dynamics and kinetics in the gaseous phase, and photodissociation dynamics of small molecules.  The recent researches are focused on reaction dynamics of 1A and 2A metal atoms with H2, CH4 and rare gases, photodissociation and ionization mechanism of ketene, and rotational and vibrational energy transfer of CH.  Our research interest also extends to application of laser spectroscopy to analytical chemistry.
