The MPI team has 18 permanent staff (6 Prof., 8 Assoc. Prof., 3 Res. and 1 emeritus) and delves into fundamental and applied interdisciplinary molecular physics across the spectrum from gas to condensed phase. At the core of the MPI team’s research efforts lie continuous endeavours to develop
next-generation research instruments with unique capabilities, poised to unlock new opportunities for advancing frontiers in both fundamental and applied sciences. The MPI team is organised into three groups (SPECTRO, ANATRAC, and SPIN), with its activities guided by four primary research axes: Environmental Science and Energy Transition, Universe: Origins and Evolution / Laboratory astrophysics, Laser Applications in Biology and Medicine, and the transverse axis of Innovative Methodology and Instrumentation Development, which supports all fundamental and applied research initiatives. While the latter axis primarily focuses on experimental work, it also incorporates theoretical advancements conducted within the team, in collaboration with the Physical Chemistry Modeling Team (PCMT) within our Unit, or in partnership with other experimental and theoretical groups through national and international collaborations.
