Edcel Salumbides

Edcel Salumbides is a Visiting Fellow at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU) within the Faculty of Science, affiliated with the Quantum Metrology & Laser Applications group and the LaserLaB - Physics of Light laboratory. He holds a PhD in Physics and specializes in precision spectroscopy, quantum metrology, and laser-based techniques. His research focuses on molecular and atomic systems, including hydrogen isotopes, carbon monoxide, and water isotopologues. Key areas include ionization/dissociation energies, quantum electrodynamics (QED) tests, and probing fundamental physics through molecular spectroscopy. He has collaborated internationally, contributing to over 88 research outputs and 5 datasets. His work addresses cosmological constants, gravitational field dependencies, and constraints on extra dimensions. Supervised 6 PhD theses but no explicit awards are mentioned.
