Research Interests
Most of my research is done in the Physics Department's J.R. Macdonald Lab. Some
of my research is done in Japan at
Tokyo Metropolitan
University or at
RIKEN. Some
research projects are:
- Charge transfer collisions between slow, highly charged ions and
Rydberg atoms
- Use of a mageto optic trap (MOT) in ion-atom collisions
- Binary encounter electron (BEe) production ion fast ion-atom and ion-molecule/cluster collisions.
