Adam Kirrander studied biophysics at Uppsala University, followed by an MSc in Theoretical Chemistry at the University of Oxford's St John's College and a DPhil at Queen's College under Professor Mark Child FRS. He collaborated with Professor Helen Fielding at UCL on ultrafast spectroscopy and with Dr. Christian Jungen at CNRS on theoretical spectroscopy. After a year as a visiting scientist at ITAMP, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, he started his own group at the University of Edinburgh. Kirrander was a Natural Sciences Fellow at the Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study from 2021 to 2022. He returned to Oxford in 2022 as a Tutorial Fellow at St Peter’s College. His work emphasizes collaboration across experimental and theoretical groups globally and focuses on developing methods for ultrafast imaging of quantum processes in matter using new light and electron sources. His research investigates the unique properties of x-ray free-electron lasers to visualize and understand photochemical reactions, resulting in significant advancements recognized by the Royal Society of Chemistry Horizon Prize in 2021.
