Biography

My research group seeks to understand the effects that govern non-covalent interactions (π-stacking, cation/π, anion/π, etc.) with aromatic systems through the application of computational quantum chemistry and to quantify the role of these non-covalent interactions in organic chemistry, materials science, and molecular biology. A hallmark of our work is the emphasis on building simple, physically-motivated conceptual models that are of great utility for chemists.
