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
Organizing Astroseminar
Sometimes public engagement means giving a talk for the general public; sometimes means showing people something they can touch with their hands and learn from it; sometimes means organizing. In Münster in these last monthsContinue reading
Our first public engagement event together
It is not often that the ESRs are all together in the same country, let alone the same city, so we decided to take advantage of this at the Heriot-Watt University Open Day that tookContinue reading

Rushdi
Mostly quiet but full of new ideas, Rushdi enjoys long walks by himself. Currently he works in Edinburgh but he was born and brought up in Sri Lanka. Grey Edinburgh is in stark contrast toContinue reading
Rijutha
Although she wanted to be an astronomer, Rijutha Jaganathan now peers into ultrahigh vacuum chambers to study reactions catalysed by PAHs. Shy and reticent is what people would describe her at first glance though herContinue reading
