HOMEPAGE

My research combines computational chemistry, quantum chemistry, and molecular spectroscopy to explore the molecular structure and the long-range intermolecular potential energy surfaces in weakly-bonded open-shell complexes. The goal of these studies is obtaining a molecular based level of understanding of hydrogen bonding and of the role of free radicals in the atmosphere and in biological systems.
