Merve Ercelik is a PhD student in Alec Wodtke's group at the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences in Göttingen.
In IRAstro, her research focuses on understanding molecular quantum dynamics in low-temperature condensed phase systems, combining superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) with laser-induced infrared spectroscopy on astrochemically relevant ices.
