Current research interests:

Experimental physical chemistry in the areas:

• Chemical kinetics of fast reactions in the gas phase with the VLPR (Very Low Pressure Reactor) technique. Determination of absolute rate constants and transition state of fast radical-radical and radical-molecule reactions.
• Atmospheric Chemistry. Laboratory kinetic studies of homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical reactions of atmospheric importance.
• Laser induced synthesis of novel organometallic materials with nanostructure in the gas phase. Synthesis of amorphous silicon carbide and silicides with CO2 laser induced decomposition of alkylsilane mixtures in the gas phase.
