研究领域

William Glover’s group is interested in developing an atomistic description of light-initiated chemistry in complex environments. The general strategy is to build up understanding from isolated molecules to large biomolecules while making direct connection to experiment by computing observables relevant to ultrafast spectroscopy. A particular area of interest is the damage of biological molecules by UV and ionizing radiation, which tends to occur via a rich array of competing reaction pathways. For example, it is well known that ionizing radiation damages DNA, but this can occur via direct channels (electronic excitation of the nucleic acids) and indirect pathways such as attack from free radicals like the hydrated electron. To tackle the inherent complexity of these systems we employ state-of-the-art graphical processing unit (GPU)-based computational chemistry and multi-physics modeling.
