Research Interests
Computational Chemistry
Theoretical chemistry applied to transition metal complexes, atomic clusters, surfaces, and alloy materials. Methods of Kohn-Sham molecular orbital theory are used to predict the structure, spectra, and thermochemical properties of molecules and small clusters. New methods are developed for electronic structure and atomistic simulations in large systems, and for global optimization problems.
