Research interests

  1. Theory and simluation of coherent control of matter via shaped laser pulses in condensed phase systems
  2. Development of a benchmark model that can discriminate between diefferent mixed quantum-classical and semiclassical methods for calculating optical response functions and multi-dimensional spectra
  3. ab-initio calculation of two-dimensional infrared (2DIR) spectra of polyatomic molecules
