We are interested in the structure and
dynamics of condensed phase systems, and in particular, in
the theory of time-dependent phenomena in liquids.
Experimentally, one important approach for determining the
structure and dynamics of condensed matter involves linear
and non-linear vibrational spectroscopy. Typically, such
spectroscopy contains information about local molecular
environments, whose extraction, however, usually requires
theoretical models and their solutions. In order to
accomplish this, we use ab initio calculations, molecular
dynamics simulations, statistical mechanics, and basically
any theoretical approach that will enable us to further our
understanding. The systems we are working on include water,
peptides and proteins, interfaces, membranes etc.
Here
are several projects we are currently working on (thumbnail below).
