Quantum molecular dynamics constitutes the thrust of my research. The goal is to gain insight into realistic elementary chemical encounters. This requires the development and application of a quantum description to molecular processes. In particular the emphasis is on time-dependent approaches which can follow naturally the stream of events.

 

The main topics of study are:

Coherent chemistry: light induced processes.

Coherent control and laser cooling.

Dynamical processes on surfaces.

Quantum thermodynamics.

Computational and teaching methods.
