Alice Green
I came to Magdalen in 2016 following an undergraduate degree in St Andrews. Generously funded by the Magdalen Leon and Iris Beghian Scholarship, my research centres on the spectroscopy of small gas-phase transition metal clusters, which provide tractable model systems for heterogeneous catalysts. My work combines modern experimental techniques such as molecular beams and laser photo-fragmentation spectroscopy with quantum chemical calculations. I’ve really enjoyed our group’s collaborations with other leading groups in Europe – in particular the Fielicke group at the Fritz-Haber Institute and the Dopfer group at the Technische Universität, Berlin. Research visits to their labs and use of international facilities such as the Berlin free electron laser have been particular highlights of my research project thus far.
