Dynamics of light-induced bimolecular reactions
Group leader
Dr. hab. Angulo Nunez Gonzalo Manuel
Research topics
Our major concern is to find physical background to chemical reactivity. To this end, we compare our mesurements of the kinetics of photo-excited products with the most advanced statistical theories. We are especially interested in reactions occuring in complex media mimicking living cells.
