Alec M. Wodtke is Director at the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences and Professor at the University of Göttingen. He is an internationally leading expert in chemical dynamics at surfaces, with pioneering contributions to understanding how molecules exchange energy and react.
In IRAstro, Alec leads the development of advanced infrared spectroscopy techniques using superconducting photon detectors to study molecular processes at ultra-low temperatures. His work focuses on energy transfer, reaction dynamics, and quantum effects in condensed phase systems.
