- [Techniques](https://molecularphotonics.sydney/equipment/) - Laboratory Experiments Velocity Map Imaging (VMI) VMI allows the dynamics of chemical reactions to be studied by imaging the recoiling ion fragments. The rings detail the velocity of the ions, and internal energy can be determined through conservation rules. A tunable photolysis laser allows the energetic dependence of reactions to be studied and tunable ionization
- [Research Themes](https://molecularphotonics.sydney/research-themes/) - Laboratory Astrophysics Space is made up of an over-whelming variety of molecules. They exist in the interstellar medium, in circumstellar clouds and in exoplanet atmospheres. Astronomers measure signatures of these molecules, but it is hard to collect samples to discover what they are. We reproduce astrophysical conditions in our lab (e.g. ultrahigh vacuum, VUV light)
- [Openings](https://molecularphotonics.sydney/openings/) - Molecular Photonics Sydney is a multinational and multicultural group of researchers from all around the world. We always have exciting Honours and post-graduate projects for local and international students. Post-doctoral positions come up less regularly and will be advertised here. Funded PhD/Masters opportunities ARC-funded PhD scholarship to work on laboratory measurements of new atmospheric chemistry

Dr. Alves has a strong background in the photochemistry of organic molecules, mainly
- [Jiale Feng](https://molecularphotonics.sydney/team/jiale/) - Jiale Feng is interested in understanding the fundamental quantum behaviours of excitons in molecular semiconductors, particularly the singlet exciton fission and photon energy upconversion. By deploying optical and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy techniques to understand the role of spin, interactions between excitons and the environment, light is shed on the performance of optoelectronic devices.
- [Tim Schmidt](https://molecularphotonics.sydney/team/tim-schmidt/) - Schmidt is a molecular spectroscopist who has specialised in the development of world leading upconverter systems for energy harvesting.
- [Thilini Ishwara](https://molecularphotonics.sydney/team/thilini-ishwara/) - Thilini's area of expertise is in organic photovoltaics. She is currently working on polymer films to fabricate solid state upconverters. These can be used in conjunction with solar cells, to increase the solar cell power conversion efficiency.
