In this talk, I will give an overview of my postdoctoral and doctoral research, with a particular focus on anion photoelectron spectroscopy and infrared fluorescence spectroscopy, as well as the future research direction of my Otto Hahn Group in the Department of Molecular Physics, which will revolve around fluorescence spectroscopy of trapped molecular ions.
