Summary
Research Interests
Research activities center around the theory of molecular collisions. Principal topics of current research include the dynamics of gas-surface reactions, collision-induced intramolecular energy flow and bond dissociation in large molecules, and vibrational relaxation of matrix-isolated guest molecules.
