RID: IXD-9678-2023
ORCID: 0000-0001-5327-8880
Focus Area
My research interests are centered on the understanding of challenging problems in photochemistry, photophysics, and spectroscopy. To this end, we model the electronic structure and coupled nuclear-electronic dynamics of molecules and their interactions with light. I am one of the leaders of the development team of the ab initio excited-state molecular dynamics code SHARC (Surface Hopping including ARbitrary Couplings), available from our homepage http://sharc-md.org. Furthermore, I am the coordinator of the Young Investigators Research Group "Isolated Strong Optical Magnetic Pulse Spectroscopy" (http://www.istomps.org), where we will investigate a new form of magnetic-field-only electronic optical spectroscopy.
