Theoretical Chemistry
in the Franco Group

We are a theoretical physical chemistry group working in the general area of quantum dynamics and molecular modeling. The work of our group encompasses the development of new theories and simulation methods, the efficient implementation of these methods on high-performance computers, and the application of the resulting tools to identify new phenomenology, understand and stimulate experiments. We work closely with experimental groups and strive to perform theory that stimulates experimental progress. We are particularly interested in exploring frontiers in molecular and material science where non-trivial quantum-mechanical effects play an important role.
