Ready and waiting for the DESY / EuXFEL user meeting. Hamburg is giving me a warm welcome…

It’s a pleasuring having good people to work with. Big things planned for 2026.

🏆 excited to get this work written up and out in the wild

[Sandra Gómez @quimicafisica1]

Fresh news: our baby is here!!! 🎉😎

After a year of drafts & redrafts, our roadmap for molecular benchmarks in nonadiabatic dynamics is out!
Huge thanks to the superstar coauthors 💜

En route to IMAMPC2025. First time in Paris. It’s about as incredible as they tell you, and exactly as crowded, too!

Our first paper on the ultrafast photochemical dynamics of disulfides is in-press *link below*

This work was my first time putting together and leading a team at @CLF_STFC and I’m very excited to see the work published and can’t wait to show you where this collab has taken us

Getting some help with theory

First day on-site at the Small Quantum System beamline at EuXFEL. More photos and hopefully some experimental images of molecules in motion.

A new initiative to build benchmarks to standardise non adiabatic dynamics methods. What processes, initial conditions methods, electronic structure, propagation methods and observables should be considered. And also, the role of experiments.

4 year PhD scholarship (🇬🇧students only) available in my new research group @nurd_lab in the School of Chemistry @ChemistryUoN @UniofNottingham.

Project explores structural dynamics of molecular cations. Would suit anyone with chemistry or physics background.

There is a fully funded PhD position in my group at the University of Nottingham.

Please pass this on to any final year students you know who might be looking for a chance to build some instruments and do some cool science.

Shout out to the three guys who nodded about partition functions

[Dr Patrick Robertson @ghett_smart]

In happier news, I have inherent a complete collection of Herzberg.

[Nottingham Ultrafast Reaction Dynamics Lab @nurd_lab]

Get back in the lab, slacker

[Dr Patrick Robertson @ghett_smart]

Wrapped the final lecture of my first ever lecture course. All in all, I think it was a success but teaching takes a LOT of time even if it's just 2 lectures a week.
