Early life and education

Verlet was born on 6 June 1977 in Belgium. He completed undergraduate studies at King's College London, and obtained his Doctor of Philosophy from the same institution in 2003, having been supervised by Helen H. Fielding. [1]

Career and research

Verlet worked as a post-doctoral fellow [1] with Daniel M. Neumark at the University of California, Berkeley (2003–2006), studying water-cluster anions. [2] In 2006, he was appointed to lecturer [1] and was awarded an EPSRC Advanced Research Fellowship at Durham University. [1] His research focuses on the photochemistry of anions, [3] [4] electron-driven dynamics in molecules and molecule-solvent clusters, [5] and electrons at water-air interfaces. [6]
