Stefano Stranges

Stefano Stranges is a Full Professor at the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology within the Faculty of Pharmacy and Medicine at Sapienza University of Rome. He teaches General and Inorganic Chemistry for Pharmacy and Biotechnology programs at the Latina campus, as well as Inorganic Chemistry II for Chemistry students. His academic activities include both in-person and remote instruction using digital platforms like Google Meet, adapting to pandemic-related teaching requirements.

Professor Stranges' primary research focuses on photoemission processes of molecular and atomic species in the gas phase, including free radicals, transient species, and high-temperature systems. He specializes in innovative methodologies using synchrotron radiation, with particular emphasis on photoelectron spectroscopy techniques. His work bridges theoretical and experimental approaches to understand molecular fragmentation, double photoionization, and the behavior of molecular dications in various environments.

Analysis of Professor Stranges' recent publications reveals a strong focus on advanced spectroscopic techniques using synchrotron radiation and extreme ultraviolet light. His research spans molecular physics, physical chemistry, and astrochemistry, with particular attention to fragmentation dynamics of molecular systems, chiral molecules, and species relevant to planetary atmospheres. A significant portion of his work investigates double and multiple ionization processes, providing insights into electron correlation effects and molecular stability in highly excited states.

Professor Stranges serves as the head of the photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) laboratory at Sapienza University of Rome and is responsible for the AR-PES (Angle Resolved PhotoElectron Spectroscopy) experimental station at the GAPH beamline at the Elettra Synchrotron in Trieste. He also oversees the ARPES-TPES station at the TASC-CNR-IOM Laboratory for measurements with synchrotron radiation of radical species produced by plasma. His laboratory work supports both fundamental research and applications in atmospheric science and astrochemistry.
