Augenbraun Lab at Williams College

Shining Light on Metal-Containing Molecules


Welcome!

We are a molecular spectroscopy research group at Williams College. Our main goal is to study the structure and dynamics of molecules that are useful for a range of applications, including quantum information science, catalysis/organometallic chemistry, and precision measurements of fundamental symmetries. We use a combination of experimental tools (lasers, molecular beams) and theoretical methods (computational quantum chemistry, simulations of coherent control) to understand these molecules. If you are a Williams student interested in chemistry, physics, or engineering, please get in touch to learn more!
