Eleanor Campbell has been professor of Atomic and Fundamental Molecular Physics at Göteborg University since April 1998.

Her research interests are presently experimental studies of the dynamics of fullerenes using fs and ns laser excitation, spectroscopy of fullerenes and fullerene clusters, cluster-surface impact and the production, characterisation and applications of carbon nanotubes.

She was born and went to school on the Island of Bute, Scotland and then studied Chemical Physics at Edinburgh University. After her PhD, during which she studied energy transfer in fast atom - molecule collisions, she went as a postdoc to Germany and ended up spending over 12 years there. Her research interests during the time in Germany covered alignment and orientation studies in atom-ion collisions, cluster collisions, spectroscopy and collisions of fullerenes, laser desorption mass spectrometry, ns laser ablation of polymers and fs laser ablation of dielectrics. Before moving to Sweden she was department head at the Max-Born-Institut in Berlin, Adlershof for 5 years.

Eleanor Campbell was recently appointed to the Chair of Physical Chemistry at Edinburgh University and presently holds a joint appointment.
