Our group is interested in experimental physical chemistry, instrument development, rotational spectroscopy, and astrochemistry. To this end, we are in the process of building an apparatus to interrogate molecules in the gas phase that have desorbed from an ice surface with high-resolution broadband rotational spectroscopy. We hope to shed light on the chemistry which takes place on grains at low-temperatures, which is critical to the formation of complex organic molecules throughout our galaxy.
