Vincent Richardson

Dr. Vincent Richardson is a researcher affiliated with the Department of Chemistry at the University of Liverpool. His work focuses on astrochemistry, interstellar chemistry, and chemical physics, particularly the behavior of radical cations and ion-molecule interactions in space environments.

Research Interests:

• Formation and spectroscopic analysis of radical cations (e.g., H2CCS•+, HCOH•+)
• Interstellar organic molecule degradation via ion collisions
• Isomer-selective generation of reactive intermediates
• Quantum chemical modeling of astrochemical reactions

Recent Publications highlight his contributions to understanding reaction dynamics of interstellar molecules like methyl cyanide and methanimine radical cations, combining experimental and computational approaches to map astrochemical processes.
