Cees Gooijer (1947) - Professor applied (laser) spectroscopy- is an enthusiastic lecturer and is involved in (in the Lasercentre VU) (bio)-analytical and physical chemistry research. In analytical chemistry his research focuses on spectroscopic detection and identification methods for LC and CE (in particular Raman spectroscopy and phosphorescence) and on cryogenic high-resolution luminescence. The focus in physical chemistry research is on complex bio systems (e.g., protein folding) by means of time-resolved fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy within the context of the programme Chemistry of Complex Molecules(CCM).
