EXPLORE THE UNEXPLORED!The mission of our lab is to provide answers to fundamental questions in physical chemistry with theory and computation. We can of course use computational tools to interpret and complement experiments. Ultimately, however, we aim to predict interesting chemical behavior before it is observed and to design practical methods that make such predictions possible.
Our research focuses on chemical phenomena that emerge from the interplay between electronic states, nuclear motion, and their surrounding environments. These phenomena arise across molecular, materials, and biological systems, and often require quantum chemistry and statistical mechanics to be considered together. We seek to uncover how microscopic interactions give rise to observable chemical behavior and to transform that understanding into theoretical models.
