research overview
- Our research centers on developing and applying theoretical and simulation methods to investigate the classical and quantum dynamics of condensed phase systems and straddles the boundaries between physical chemistry, condensed matter physics, and quantum information. In particular, we develop and apply methods to: (1) Elucidate mechanisms and spectroscopic signatures of electrochemical reactions at novel interfaces; (2) simulate and decode nonlinear spectroscopic signatures of charge and energy transfer in nanomaterials and molecular aggregates; (3) capture the long-time conformational dynamics that encode biomolecular mechanisms; (4) characterize and exploit decoherence in near-term quantum devices; and (5) develop algorithms to capture the quantum dynamics of quantum systems interacting with complex environments on near-term quantum computers.
