Techniques employed include a variety of quantum and classical mechanics methods.
Though computer programming experience is not required to work in the group, students with programming experience may also be involved in modifying and developing computer programs. Listed below are a few projects that I am currently working on. Such surfaces generally have been difficult to calculate using traditional methods. Our methods involve using experimental data to obtain a PES by fitting to a calculated functional form obtained from quantum mechanics simulations. Once the PES is determined, it may be used to study the dynamics of photodissociation processes.
