Scholar-generated biography
Ewen K Campbell is a Royal Society University Research Fellow at the University of Edinburgh, specializing in Chemistry, Spectroscopy, and Molecular ions. His research focuses on the laboratory study of molecular ions, particularly in the context of interstellar chemistry. He investigates the electronic and absorption spectra of ions such as C60+ and their role in diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs). His work bridges laboratory spectroscopy with astronomical observations, aiming to identify carriers of DIBs and understand their astrophysical implications. Campbell's research also includes gas-phase spectroscopy of ions in cryogenic traps and the development of advanced mass spectrometry techniques for analyzing molecular ions.
