Cold Chemical and AMO Physics

Our research examines chemical reaction dynamics at low temperatures. We use laser cooling and ion trapping techniques, alongside external magnetic and electric fields, to control the properties of ions and neutral species. In addition to carrying out experimental measurements, we also develop models of collision environments and devise strategies for optimising experimental parameters.
