Focus Area
The over arching goal of my project is to develop new techniques to enable excited-state simulations of photoreactions on longer time scales than currently feasible. My focus is on machine learning models, which I use to accelerate the evaluation of molecular properties such as energies, forces, and dipole moments with quantum mechanical accuracy. The simulation of a system evolving in time is based on such properties. Since most of the reactions I want to study take place in solution, my aim is to implement one of the aforementioned machine learning methods tailored to such reactions. This new method allows the investigation of photoinduced reactions in solution on the atomic level, leading to a more detailed understanding of these systems. My project is realized within the framework of ViRAPID, which is an interdisciplinary Research platform with members from the Math, Physics and Chemistry departments.
