Research

We use quantum mechanics to study matter under conditions that are challenging to reach experimentally, and we develop the concepts needed to interpret what we find. The work falls into three directions.

Chemical Bonding

Origin of Life

The study of reactions unfolding over timescales no laboratory can reproduce, from hydrogen cyanide chemistry on Titan to what life might look like if built from unfamiliar ingredients.
