I am a Research Associate at the Institute for Theoretical Atomic and Molecular Physics (ITAMP) at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA). I work on different aspects of gas phase chemical dynamics with particular emphasis on atmospheric phenomena, astrophysics and atomic and molecular processes at ultracold temperatures.

Research Interests

Ultracold Atom-Molecule Collisions
Atmospheric Chemistry
Astrophysics
Time-Dependent Quantum Dynamics
Quantum-Classical Methodologies for Chemical Reactions
Photodissociation Dynamics
Fragmentation of Molecules in Intense Laser Fields (Watch real time wave packet motion!)
