Research quality
The unit is part of the National Centre of Excellence in Computational Molecular
Science (2006–2011) funded by the Academy of Finland. One of the professors has
led this centre since 2009.
The research output of the unit is very good. In general, results are published in
key international journals. The impact of the research is quite high and the unit is well
known worldwide for its work on overtone spectroscopy and matrix isolation
spectroscopy. The matrix isolation work of the unit received the George Pimentel
price in 2009 for one of the professors.
The work on gas-phase chemical kinetics does not seem to have had as large an
impact, and both the problems investigated and the techniques used are perhaps not
competitive with the leading groups in this field. Similarly, the activities in laser
development and breath analysis using CRD spectroscopy is quite new and the
impact cannot yet be judged.
