Research in the Thompson Group

Our research focuses on the development and application of theoretical methods for describing chemical dynamics and spectroscopy in liquids – in brief, we are interested in how, and how fast, molecules move and react. The systems we study and our approaches to modeling them are centered on using theoretical chemistry to make predictions for future experiments, develop fundamental understanding and physical intuition, and uncover molecular-level mechanistic information.
