Outline

Chemical reactions proceed on a complex potential energy surface with a vast degree of freedom of nuclear coordinates. For unraveling (and manipulating) the underlying molecular mechanisms, it is desirable to map out the potential energy surface, which has been a central interest in both experimental and theoretical chemistry. In this project, I will develop an extreme electronic spectroscopy and aim to visualize the migration of wavepacket on reactive potential energy surfaces with excellent structural information and unprecedented time resolution.
