Size and shape effects in aligned PAHs
In the EUROPAH, we are approaching the end of the project. Some ESRs will continue their PhD afterwards, while others (like me) will defend their theses in 2020. So, time to summarize the work thatContinue reading
The fingerprint of protonated buckminsterfullerene
In the EUROPAH network, we investigate not only PAHs, but also other carbonaceous species that are relevant in an astrophysical context, such as fullerenes. The most famous member of this molecular family is the buckminsterfullerene.Continue reading

My Secondment to Hiden Analytical
One of the industrial partners within EUROPAH is Hiden Analytical, a company with a more than 35-year long history of design, development and manufacture of quadrupole mass spectrometers for advanced research applications and specialist processContinue reading
(G)astrochemistry
It was an unusually hot summer in Denmark this year but as usual I was struggling with my equipment in the lab all through summer. I use a scanning tunneling microscope to ‘image’ molecules onContinue reading
