Ms Farahjabeen Islam

PhD student working with Prof Stephen Price, Dr Wendy Brown and Dr Serena Viti in the Cosmic Dust Lab, Surface Science Lab and Physics and Astronomy department.

Ms Elspeth Latimer

PhD student working with Prof Stephen Price in the Cosmic Dust Lab.

Prof David Williams

David is Co-director of the Centre for Cosmic Chemistry and Physics.

He provides astrophysical motivation for experimental and theoretical projects undertaken by the Centre.

Prof J. M. C. Rawlings

Professor in Astrophysics at UCL.
Theoretical work on cosmic dust composition and the role of surface chemistry in the interstellar medium.
Provides observational support and analysis/interpretation of existing observational data.

Research interests cover a wide range of theoretical and observational topics in molecular astrophysics, but are largely centred on the study of stellar outflows and protostellar inflows.

Prof Andrew Fisher

Professor in Physics at UCL.
Involved in theoretical work on reaction rates, particularly on the construction of potential energy surfaces for molecules near the surfaces using density functional theory.

Theory of scanning tunnelling microscopy and electron processes in atomic-scale wires and nanostructures.

Dr Serena Viti

Main areas of research are astrochemistry and cool stars.

Prof Mike Barlow

Dr Anthony Meijer

Lecturer in Computational Chemistry at Sheffield University. Currently works in collaboration with Prof. A. J. Fisher of UCL and proveides a theoretical complement experiments done in the group of Prof. S. D. Price at UCL and astronomical modelling and observations done in the groups of Prof. D. A. Williams and Prof. J. Rawlings.

Professor David Clary

Research in David's group is involved with theory and computer simulation on the reactions, energy transfer and dynamics of polyatomic molecules. This includes problems in the gas phase, clusters, solid surfaces and biomolecules. The work connects up with many areas of chemistry, and he has close links with the UCL Cosmic Chemistry Centre.
