Jos Oomens appointed professor

15 July 2009
Dr. Jos Oomens has been appointed professor of Action Spectroscopy by special appointment of the Stichting Physica. His research at the Amsterdam University's Faculty of Science will focus on Action Spectroscopy - spectroscopical techniques ranging further than traditional absorption spectroscopy - and their applications.

Jos Oomens has worked at FOM Rijnhuizen for 10 years, developing amongst other techniques a way to use the free electron laser FELIX to measure infrared spectra of mass selected ions and thereby determine their structure.
