Research

My present research involves ab-intio calculations to determine the Potential Energy Surface (PES) of ionic alkaline earth dimers. Even to this day, a lot of properties of these dimers are unknown in particular the behavior at long range. The goal of my studies is not only to find out these PES (ground and excited) but also to predict scattering effects like charge transfer in these molecular ions. I also studied Feshbach Resonances in heteronuclear alkali dimers in the ultracold regime. Apart from standard programming tools, I use a bunch of Quantum Chemistry packages like Gaussian, Gamess, CFour and Molpro.

Teaching Resources

I have been a Teaching Asst. for undergraduate Physics labs (mostly Mechanics Labs) in the Physics Dept. You can find most recent information on classes here.
