\n\t\t\t\tQuantum Chemistry<\/span><\/strong>: <\/em>Our research interests are in two main areas: (1) the application of predictive quality methods, particularly coupled-cluster methods. Areas of current interest include free radicals, excited states, and other transient species that may be involved in atmospheric chemistry and biological systems, and the structure and spectroscopy of transition metal complexes; (2) studies of metal-porphyrin systems, mainly using density-functional methods.  <\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
