Personal profile

Research interests

Our work focuses on the computational investigation of the electronic structure and reactivity of molecules and solids from all areas of the periodic table, with particular focus on the f elements, and on problems in molecular catalysis. We employ a variety of quantum chemical techniques based on density functional and ab initio theories.
