Martin Fournier

Martin Fournier is a Researcher at Heriot-Watt University's School of Engineering & Physical Sciences, affiliated with the Institute of Chemical Sciences. His work focuses on experimental and theoretical studies of molecular collisions, inelastic scattering processes, and reaction dynamics. Key research areas include differential cross sections, rotational energy transfer, and astrochemical modeling.

Recent research contributions include studies on HC₅N gas-phase formation mechanisms (Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2025), inelastic scattering dynamics of NO-A states with CO₂ (Faraday Discussions, 2024), and rotational quenching in NO collisions (Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 2023). These studies combine advanced spectroscopic techniques with computational modeling.

He collaborates widely across chemical physics disciplines and maintains an active publication record in top-tier journals. Current research emphasizes understanding fundamental molecular interactions with applications in astrochemistry and materials science.
