Elie Lattouf recently obtained his PhD degree from the University of Caen Basse-Normandie (France). During his PhD he worked on the determination of the formation cross section of negative hydrogen ions in positively charged collisional complexes. The experiments related to his PhD studies were held at the Aribe facility of the GANIL accelerator. At Aarhus, Elie will be working with Lars Andersen's molecular group on the photoresponse of isolated biological chromophores at the Saphira and ELISA storage rings.
