Research Interests
-
My recent research has focused on the development of
effective model Hamiltonians which can be used to study the properties
of organic polymers. Another major research component has been the
effort to understand the structure and properties of hollow carbon
fullerene molecules. Other work has concerned the nature of
aromaticity in chemistry, the interactions of molecules with magnetic
fields, and the dynamics of chemical reactions.
