Welcome to the Homepage of the Molecular and Optical Physics Research Group at the Open University. The past three years have been busy ones for the group with the arrival of new researchers and Academics, the opening of our new laboratories as part of a major refurbishment programme, and the successful award of EPSRC funding to develop our research on radiation damage, electron molecule collisions and cold atoms.
Current research topics include:
The group conducts interdisciplinary research with an international focus. Many of our projects are part of larger national and international programmes. Funding is provided by three National research agencies ( EPSRC, NERC and STFC) as well as the European Union, the European Science Foundation, the Royal Society, the Commonwealth office, The British Council and several industrial partners.
