All students in my research group become proficient in the use of computers, applied quantum chemistry and molecular modeling. Take a look at my lab workbench to get an idea of the software used. Those involved in development of new methods also acquire expertise in applied mathematics. More formal learning takes place through course work. My graduate courses are frequently offered in the form of individually tailored sequences of directed reading and problem solving.
All students practice using their critical and presentation skills in regular group meetings.
All are encouraged to present their research results in regional, national and international conferences. Students also learn from their interaction with other graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and visiting senior scientists in my group which has a distinctly international flavor. If you are interested in graduate or post-doctoral research in my laboratory, take a look at my research program and philosophy. This may help you decide whether my research and teaching approach meet your needs.
