Biography
Steve studied Chemistry as an Undergraduate at Oxford, followed by a DPhil investigating the mechanism of double photoionisation. This project included spending time at Universite Paris Sud. Following a Junior Research Fellowship at Worcester College he spent two years as a research fellow in the Joint Laboratory for Astrophsyics in Boulder CO, returning to the UK to a lectureship at UCL in 1993. He's been at UCL ever since with a variety of roles at Departmental, Faculty and College levels, including a joint appointment between Chemistry and the Arts and Sciences programme.

Steve is interested in developing experimental techniques to study the formation, properties and reactivity of atoms and molecules which posses considerable internal energy - and the interpretation of the results from such experiments. . This energy is usually electronic, vibrational or both. The targets of experiments range from revealing the reactivity of molecular dications, which is of relevance in planetary ionospheres, to studying the formation of new molecules on cold (20 K) interstellar dust grains.
Teaching Summary
Steve has contributed to many courses for UCL Chemistry and the BASc over his career at UCL. Specifically, Steve developed and taught on CHEM0005, Chemical Foundations, the first chemistry course taken on the Chemistry Programme, for many years. He still contributes to this course as Course Organizer, both developing new learning resources and dealing with the every-day running, administration and communication aspects of the module.
