I have received funding to hire a postdoctoral fellow in my group at Ohio State University with a target starting time of Spring 1998. The initial appointment will be for one year, but funds are available for support beyond the first year. My group is interested in the effect of solvation on the dynamics of chemical reactions, with an emphasis on the effect of complex formation on photodissociation and reaction dynamics by comparing processes in van der Waals complexes to the corresponding gas phase reaction. In particular, our research addresses the question of how dynamics of processes in solvated environments differ from those between isolated atoms and molecules. We are also working to develop approximate methods that allow the inclusion of quantum effects in calculations of dynamics for these systems where full quantal calculations are currently computationally intractable.
