laser/liquids/molecular dynamics/solvation/spectroscopy/ultrafast/vibrational relaxation

The prospects for making sense of dynamics in liquids have improved dramatically in the recent years. With the advent of ultrafast lasers has come the ability to look at times short enough that the painful complications have barely begun to set in. Our own work has been focused on developing a theoretical understanding of this ultrafast dynamics. In particular, we are hoping to discern the molecular mechanisms of events such as solvation and vibrational relaxation -- the elementary steps that determine the course of chemical reactions in liquids.
