Research

We develop novel theoretical models and computational tools for investigation of electronic and nuclear quantum dynamics of molecules, that is based around the software packages Richmol and TROVE. We aim to develop a general purpose methods that are highly accurate and therefore quantitatively predictive and at the same time scalable to real-world complex systems. Current research projects include development of machine learning methods for variational simulations of nuclear motion dynamics in weakly-bound complexes, symmetry breaking phenomena of nuclear spin conversion and molecular chirality, and photoelectron dynamics, such as photoelectron circular dichroism and laser induced electron diffraction.
