Research Interests
Research interests are mainly devoted to the fields of Theoretical Molecular Spectroscopy and Theoretical Reaction Dynamics with current emphasis on the following topics: Calculations of accurate potential energy surfaces by ab initio methods (e.g., coupled cluster or MRCI) and their analytical representation, Calculation of various molecular properties (e.g., vibrational frequencies, rotational constants, electric moments, intensities, ionisation potentials, electronic excitation energies), Calculations of barrier heights for chemical reactions; lifetimes of reactive resonances; photodissociation dynamics.
