Current Photochemical Research

The Photochemistry Research Group at Loughborough University is headed by Dr David Worrall. Research group members include Dr Siān L Williams Worrall (Lecturer, Physical Chemistry), and Ms. Nadya Muhammed (Research Student).

Research is carried out in a number of areas including singlet oxygen generation and decay, electron and energy transfer studies on silica gel surfaces, and photochemistry in supercritical fluids. Techniques available include nanosecond laser flash photolysis, diffuse reflectance laser flash photolysis, singlet oxygen luminescence, and time-resolved and steady-state emission. Equipment includes two nanosecond laser flash photolysis systems, near-infrared detectors for singlet oxygen measurements, and photodiode array detection for emission measurements.
