Research


My research concerns various forms of spectroscopy in the frequency domain and time domain. A long-standing interest has been the study of intermolecular forces through structure studies of molecular clusters in molecular beam environments. A more recent interest involves studying dynamics in molecular systems utilizing time-domain and frequency-domain experiments.
