Research Focus

David Sidebottom is a seasoned spectroscopist with experience in numerous forms of optical spectroscopy including: Raman, Brillouin, Photon Correlation, Photoluminescence, Fluorescence, and Phonon Sideband. He has been active in the field of glass transition kinetics, particularly using dynamic light scattering (photon correlation and Brillouin), for over 25 years and has published numerous papers in this area. His most recent research activity has dealt with light scattering studies of network-forming oxide melts intended to clarify relationships between glass structure and liquid dynamics.
