Applied photophysics: renewable energies & health

Studies of the photophysical properties of (supra)molecular systems and the development of nanostructured surfaces or functionalised nanoparticles are being deployed for applications in the fields of renewable energy and healthcare.

Relaxation dynamics of excited molecules

The dynamics of molecular systems initially excited in the visible-UV spectral range are analysed on different time scales, with a particular focus on the competition between all the relaxation pathways.

Spectroscopies applied to astrophysics

The electronic, vibrational and/or rotational structure of a wide variety of species of astrophysical interest (molecules, grains, solids) is studied using radiation ranging from millimetre wavelengths to the vacuum ultraviolet.

Photoinduced Dynamics

Below, you will find some of our research topics. The common factor is the excitation/ionization of species (atoms/molecules/ions) by one or more photons. Our research focuses specifically in the detection of the resulting charged photoproducts (ions/electrons) from which we can infer the mechanism of interest. This research can be decomposed into: Time-resolved studies: we use a combination of ultrafast laser pulses (1 fs = 10-15s) to pump the system of interest and probe it at a later time. By scanning [...]
