Theoretical chemical physics
The determination and implications of intermolecular forces and the spectroscopy and dynamics of small molecules and molecular clusters.
The development and application of methods for simulating and analysing photodissociation spectra of small molecules, and the discrete spectra of diatomic molecules and of polyatomic Van der Waals molecules, in order to determine the underlying potential energy surfaces.
Simulations and predictions of dynamical properties and their spectroscopic signatures for chromophore molecules in molecular clusters of matrix environments.
