My research interests center around the photochemistry associated with the absorption of a photon of light energy by a molecular system, with a goal to control the outcome of the chemical process. To achieve this, I follow either time-dependent quantum mechanical wave packet approach or quasi-classical descriptions, develop my own computer codes to simulate the electron and nuclear dynamics, and perform requisite electronic structure calculations. Currently, I am investigating the excited-state (non-adiabatic) dynamics to simulate: (a) intramolecular charge migration upon photoionization and (b) time-resolved photoelectron spectra.
