Topics:
The overarching theme of my group’s research has been tackling complicated quantum many-body problems, describing experiment and making predictions for real systems. We have made
- atomic and molecular diagrammatic many-body theory;
- theory of low-energy antimatter (positron and positronium) interactions with atoms and molecules;
- theory of atomic and molecular collisions;
- quantum chaos;
- theory of ultraintense-laser matter interactions.
- computational quantum many-body physics & quantum chemistry, including development of B-spline and Gaussian basis approaches, ab initio GW/Bethe-Salpeter methods and beyond.
