Professor Andrew Murray
Professor Murray's research interests include the use of lasers and electron beams to study atoms and molecules at a fundamental level. Current projects include laser cooling and trapping of atoms for the study of BEC's by electron impact, nano-fabrication of surfaces using laser atom manipulation, (e,2e) studies of ionization of laser excited atoms and molecules by electron impact, superelastic scattering of low energy electrons from laser prepared atoms in a magnetic field, and the study of two-colour laser excitation and ionization of metastable targets created by electron scattering. Dr Murray was principal author of the proposal for the new Photon Science Institute, which is being built at the University of Manchester at a cost of ~£23M.
