Scientific skills

 

 

Research areas

Development of algorithms and computational strategies
  • Contribution to the CRYSTAL Code:
  • A program for the ab inition investigation of crystalline solids
  • New algorithms to compute the anharmonic vibrational spectra
  • IR identification of dominant molecular motifs : discerning intermolecular association phenomena
  • Quantum chemical design of graphene-based systems for non-linear optical applications
  • Surface reactivity of electrode materials
  • Understanding of the electronic properties involved by first principles calculations
 Trace and ultratrace metal speciation analysis
  • Need of a high sensitivity: attogram (10-18) with molecular resolution
Micro – and ultratrace analysis with high precision isotopic resolution
  • Challenge: How to measure precisely the isotope ratios using short transient signals?
  • Developments: New instrumental couplings, New computational algorighms, Correction of the isotopic drift by synchronisation of detectors
Complex Matrices
  • Development of original methodologies for characterization and molecular dynamics of complex systems: C2MC
Molecular architectures: mechanisms and properties
  • Reactivity of molecular systems (molecular orbital energies in the valence region) by combined experimental (UV Photoelectron Spectroscopy) and theoretical approach (quantum calculations)
  • Understanding and tuning properties of molecules for various applications, catalyst design
