Research Statement

The major focus of my research is on the dynamics of chemical reactions, especially in extending dynamics studies to relatively complex systems, ranging from polyatomic molecules to clusters and surfaces. In addition, I have related interests in analytical chemistry, energetic materials, spectroscopy, film growth, and nanomaterials.
