The Ohio State University has long been a center for atomic and molecular physics. Our department annually hosts the International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy, and the Journal of Molecular Spectroscopy is edited here. Our research program in atomic and molecular physics goes beyond the traditional spectroscopic determinations of atomic and molecular properties. In addition, the program encompasses atom cooling and trapping, laser physics, investigation of planetary atmospheres and the interstellar medium, ultrafast physics and intense field light-matter interactions.
