Professor Adam Cohen, from the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology (as well as Physics), talked to PRISE fellows about his current research, which focuses on developing new tools to to probe the physical properties of complex molecules.
He also talked about his efforts to modernize science education teaching in Northwest Africa.
