Marcel Drabbels Laboratory of Molecular Physical Chemistry Maître d'Enseignement et de Recherche birth date: 31.03.1966 nationality: Dutch web site: http://lcpm.epfl.ch/drabbels office(s): CHG0613 phone(s): [+41 21 69] 33022 fax: 35170 BIOGRAPHY Dr. Marcel Drabbels, born in Venray (the Netherlands) 1966, studied experimental physics at the University of Nijmegen and in 1993 obtained his Ph.D. at that same university. He then moved to the University of California at Santa Barbara where he studied the dynamics of highly vibrationally excited molecules and developed a new detection technique to study the photodissociation of molecules. When he returned to the Netherlands in 1996 he joined the FOM Institute for Atomic and Molecular Physics in Amsterdam. There he worked on the development of new types of infrared imaging and streak cameras. In 1997 Dr. Drabbels was awarded a fellowship of the Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences and he moved to the Free University of Amsterdam. There he studied the collision dynamics of molecules and initiated photodissociation experiments using ultrafast lasers. As of 1. October 1998 he is appointed as MER at the Chemistry department of the EPFL. Here he studies the dynamics of molecules dissolved in superfluid helium droplets.
