Dr. Anthony Merer

Anthony Merer has solved some extremely complex and baffling spectroscopic puzzles. He has also developed new computational and experimental approaches for a variety of different problems. Among his achievements are the analyses of the spectra of short lived triatomic radicals like CCN, the discovery of the geometrical structure of the Rydberg states of ethylene, the analyses of the ultraviolet absorptions of carbon disulfide and sulfur dioxide, and most recently, the analyses of the spectra associated with the high spin multiplicity states of vanadium oxide and ferrous oxide. His originality has established him as a world leader in Molecular Spectroscopy.
