The Photochemistry of Ethene

Contact details: by EMAIL My research focuses on understanding the behaviour of and designing new methods to calculate the electronic structure of molecules. In particular understanding where and why existing methods fail tells us a lot about how to design new, better methods and algorithms. Below I list a number of possible research directions. These potential projects should be suitable for students with a good set of skills in theory and mathematics. A familiarity with computer programming would be especially helpful. I am also happy to discuss potential projects not based on those listed here. These projects are relatively flexible and so can be adapted for relatively short projects from 8 weeks, or extended to form the foundation of a PhD.
