QUB Molecular Astrophysics Research Interests
- The chemistry of dense molecular clouds, photon-dominated regions (PDRs), hot cores, protoplanetary discs, young stellar objects (YSOs) and stellar atmospheres
- The chemistry and physics of the galactic and extragalactic interstellar medium (ISM)
- Physics of hot cores, stellar atmospheres, protoplanetary discs and outflows from YSOs
- Physics and chemistry of interstellar dust
- Millimetre and submillimetre observations of molecules
- Optical spectroscopy of the Galactic and extragalactic ISM including diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) and DIB carrier studies
- Small-scale structure of the diffuse interstellar medium
- Fundamental chemical kinetic data
- Isotopic fractionation of interstellar molecules
- Chemistry of deuterium, cyanopolyynes and molecular anions.
