Hello,
I am Victor Gray, a chemist who tinkers with light and molecules. In 2022 I started my independent research at Uppsala University in the division of Physical Chemistry, Department of Chemistry – Ånsgström Laboratory. Here I will explore new exciting molecules and how they behave when excited by light.
Before returning to Sweden I spent the last 3 years in Cambridge (UK) as a Post Doc in the group of Dr. Akshay Rao at the Cavendish Laboratory, Department of Physics.
