On May 15, 2023, Prof. Tian Shanxi of University of Science and Technology of China was invited by the Photonic Nose and Molecular Materials Group to give a report to the group members in the Lecture Hall of the Institute of New Concept Sensors and Molecular Materials building. The report was hosted by Prof. Ma Jiani and attended by group teachers and graduate students.

Prof. Tian’s research interests mainly include the microscopic mechanism of chemical reactions. In this report, he introduced the new method of Time-delayed Mass Spectrometry recently developed by his research group, and how they used this original technology to obtain preliminary research results on molecular orientation and in situ clusters on the surface of alcohol liquids, dimethyl ether conversed from electron collision-induced methanol, and solvated electrons and Ionizing radiation.

After the report, Prof. Tian discussed related issues with the teachers and students present, and took a photo with them.
