Current: Molecular dynamics in low and intermediate energy electron-molecule collisions using state-of-the-art experimental techniques, e.g., novel velocity map imaging spectroscopic technique. Molecular dynamics in electron collisions with supersonically cold molecules and clusters. Future: (i) Molecular dynamics in electron collisions with excited molecular targets. (ii) Photo-electron/photo-ion imaging spectroscopy using femtosecond lasers. (iii) Energy-, time- and angle-resolved photo-electron spectroscopy from surfaces and interfaces using femtosecond lasers.
