Visiting Scientist
Molecular Physics Laboratory

Murthy Gudipati has been at the Molecular Physics Laboratory since August 2001. He is visiting from the University of Maryland, where he is on the Staff. He is also on the Faculty of Physical Chemistry, University of Cologne, Germany. He has been actively engaged in research in the areas of Photophysics, Photochemistry, Energy Transfer, Spectroscopy, Low-Temperature Chemistry, Computational Chemistry and Molecular Clusters. Most recent of his research has been carried out using Synchrotron Radiation in the near VUV region. His future interests include Renewable Energy, Astrophysics and Nanoclusters.

At SRI, Dr. Gudipati has been working on Projects with emphasis on both gas-phase and low-temperature spectroscopy involving multi-laser excitations.

In the past Dr. Gudipati guided 5 Ph.D. Students and several Undergraduate Students. He authored over 40 publications. His collaborators span between organic chemists and astrophysicists.

Born and raised in southern India, Dr. Gudipati received M.Sc. (1981) at the University of Hyderabad and Ph.D. (1987) at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India. After a 3 years post-doctoral collaboration with Prof. Josef Michl (Austin, Texas), he joined University of Cologne, Germany in 1990, where he obtained his Habilitation in late 1998.
