Peter Rakitzis received his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1997, for the experimental
study of atomic and molecular angular momentum in bimolecular reactions.
Career:
He served as a research associate at Stanford University (1997-1998)
and FORTH / IESL (1999-2000). In 2001 he was elected as a Lecturer at
the Department of Physics of the University of Crete and he was
promoted to Assistant Professor in 2006.
Interests:
Interference phenomena in molecular photodissociation, and production
of spin-polarized atoms. The role of angular momentum in atomic and molecular collisions. Absorption and
polarization spectroscopy in linear and ring cavities.
