Science: It's Brutal!

I am currently studying the optimization of element-specific parameters for analytic density functional theory.

Previously, I was studying IBr-(CO2)n clusters. Namely, the electronic structure and IR and UV photodissociation of said clusters. This work has been done in collaboration with the Lineberger group.
