Short presentation
I am Victor Gray, a chemist who tinkers with light and molecules. I'm particularly interested in new materials for solar energy applications. In 2022 I started my independent research at Uppsala University in the division of Physical Chemistry, Department of Chemistry – Ånsgström Laboratory. Here I will explore new exciting molecules and how they behave when excited by light.
