Daniel Strasser is a professor at the Institute of Chemistry of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He earned his PhD in physics from the Weizmann Institute of Science, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at UC Berkeley. His experimental research focuses on the underlying quantum mechanisms that determine the outcomes of chemical reactions on ultrafast timescales and sub-nm length scales.
His current activities center on developing novel experimental techniques to visualize the breaking and forming of chemical bonds in isolated molecules and clusters. By applying state-of-the-art physics techniques, including High-Harmonic Generation (HHG), ion-beam optics, ion-trapping, and 3D fragment imaging, his lab investigates molecular dissociation events in small quantum chemical systems to provide fundamental insights into the dynamics governing molecular transformation.
