Professor Schuessler’s research interests lie in atomic physics and laser spectroscopy: on-line spectroscopy of short-lived isotopes, measurement of nuclear moments, spins and charge distributions, cross-sections for spin dependent atomic collisions, ion storage spectroscopy and laser cooling, low energy ion and atom collisions, highly charged ion spectroscopy and Wigner crystals, attosecond and strong field physics, biomedical and atmospheric sensing. He has been collaborating on research at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, and is currently performing experiments at RIKEN, Wakoshi, Japan, on-line at the ISAC mass separator at TRIUMF, Vancouver Canada, and the Max-Planck-Institute for Quantum Optics at Garching, Germany. He is a member of both the American and European Physical Societies and Sigma Xi.
