Our research uses supersonic expansion coupled with Stark deceleration to cool and slow polar molecules. 

Our lab uses a Cryogenic Buffer-Gas Beam (CBGB) and a mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectroscopy setup for the purpose of studying the vibrational spectra of cold, gas-phase molecular clusters. 

Our lab directly laser cools trapped calcium ions (Ca⁺) down to milikelvin temperatures for the purpose of studying gas-phase cold chemical reactions.
