Research Interests
We are interested in the properties and reaction dynamics of radicals; in metastable and excited states of molecules; in nonadiabatic processes in reaction, photochemistry and inelastic collision dynamics; in the role of excited states in practical chemical systems such as combustion, atmospheric and interstellar chemistry; and in using emerging experimental techniques to explore new chemistry. We employ complementary universal and state-resolved detection methods in conjunction with molecular beams and velocity map imaging in an effort to obtain a comprehensive view of the chemistry for a given system. 

New Opportunities
In early 2004, the Suits group will be moving to spacious, newly equipped laboratories at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. Energetic and ambitious persons are sought for post-doctoral opportunities in application of state-of-the-art ion imaging techniques to a range of problems described in the following pages. Salary range, depending on experience and qualifications, will be $38k-$45k/annum and includes benefits and a generous relocation allowance. Wayne State features 203 acres of beautifully landscaped walkways and meeting areas located in the heart of Detroit's University Cultural Center, walking distance to renowned galleries, museums and theaters, and it offers a stimulating urban lifestyle combined with a reasonable cost of living.
