Research interest

Application of spectroscopic methods to study the organic reaction mechanisms especially in electrochemistry. The work of Ján Tarábek is mainly focused on the combination of different spectroscopic techniques (EPR, UV-Vis-NIR, IR, MS, XPS, AES) to get the details of complex reaction pathways in solution as well as on solid state surfaces.
