Yvon Ivan Alata

Yvon Ivan Alata is a CNRS Researcher at Sorbonne University's Plasma Physics Laboratory (LPP), part of the Space Plasma team. His work focuses on molecular spectroscopy of protonated molecules, astrochemical processes, and interstellar medium dynamics. He holds a PhD (2012) from the University of Paris Sud in molecular spectroscopy.

Research interests include molecular excited states, collision-induced dissociation, and the behavior of protonated species in gas phase environments. His studies often involve advanced spectroscopic techniques to analyze molecular structures and dynamics in astrochemical contexts.

Key articles explore topics such as hydrogen bonding in molecular systems, stereochemical effects in peptides, and the role of carbon grains in interstellar extinction. Alata's contributions bridge fundamental chemistry with astrophysical environments, using laboratory analogs to model space phenomena.
