Current Research Directions:

We are interested in dissociative electron attachment dynamics of molecular targets, ion-molecule reactions, and the structure and dynamics of liquid phase and interfacial systems, by using and developing ion and electron detection techniques. Now we are working on:

1. (Ultrafast) chemical dynamics related to the origins of molecular oxygen, water and life molecules and molecular chirality.

2. Electron-, nuclear-spin related chemical reaction dynamics.
