Daniel Moon

Daniel Moon is a Researcher at Heriot-Watt University's School of Engineering & Physical Sciences, affiliated with the Institute of Chemical Sciences. His work focuses on molecular scattering mechanisms at liquid surfaces, reactive uptake processes, and surface chemistry dynamics. Key research areas include angular distributions of scattered molecules, inelastic scattering phenomena, and the interplay between environmental factors and chemical reactions at interfaces.

His research interests span Physical Chemistry, Chemical Physics, and Atmospheric Chemistry, with emphasis on understanding surface interactions in extreme environments and condensed-phase systems. Collaborations include studies on aerosol dynamics and particle evolution in marine and atmospheric contexts through projects like SeaSCAPE.

Recent publications (2022–2024) highlight advancements in resolving molecular speed/angular distributions, scattering dynamics in extreme conditions, and the application of advanced spectroscopic techniques like PLIF. His work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to climate action and clean energy through insights into aerosol behavior and mitigation strategies.

No scientific awards or grants/advising information is explicitly mentioned. Daniel collaborates widely with global institutions, focusing on interfacial chemistry and molecular-level environmental processes.
