Molecular Photoscience and Ion Chemistry

The application of light and mass spectrometry as central chemical research tools to gain insight into the chemical and physical properties of molecules.  Computational chemistry using state-of-the-art high performance computers underpins these experimental studies.  Examples of projects include:

• Professor John Bowie & Dr Tara Pukala – application of mass spectrometry to the sequence determination of bioactive peptides
• Professor John Bowie – interstellar chemistry
• Dr Tak Kee – non-invasive chemical imaging of cardiac cells and tissues
• Dr Greg Metha – investigation into gas phase metallic and bi-metallic clusters
