My research focuses on theoretical and computational studies of molecular systems, covering both energetic and dynamic aspects. I use state-of-the-art electronic structure methods (Ab initio, DFT, Configuration Interaction, Coupled-Cluster and Møller-Plesset perturbation theories) in combination with a wide variety of techniques from quantum mechanics to molecular dynamics, to solve relevant problems in chemistry, physics, molecular biology, nanotechnology, and materials science.
