Research
We are a theoretical chemistry group concerned primarily with computer simulation of condensed phase phenomena. A main research thrust of my group is the development and application of instantaneous normal mode and time correlation function methods to model liquid state vibrational spectroscopy. We have found that these (semi)classical methods can be successfully applied in a complementary fashion to understand intramolecular vibrations in the condensed phase. We also develop new and improved semiclassical approaches. We are also interested in the low frequency portions of the spectrum where there is still uncertainty as to what information these ever changing low frequency modes might relinquish!
This is work being pursued with Preston Moore, who is a very talented researcher working as a Professor of Chemistry at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia. Dr. Preston Moore
