Welcome to the group webpage

The aim of our research group is to tackle fundamental problems in Chemistry and Physics using Mathematical techniques with a specific emphasis on excited states in molecular systems. The group’s interest lies at the interface between Physics and Chemistry, and mainly focuses on developing highly-accurate electronic structure methods as well as simple approximations that are accurate enough to have chemical and physical usefulness.

If you would like to discuss joining the group or working on a project, please email me.
