Research interests

My current research in the group of Prof. Peter Schwerdtfeger concentrates on the application of relativistic quantum theoretical methods to three related, highly topical fields of surface chemistry and solid state/cluster physics, namely hydrogen storage, carbon capture and methane sequestration.

Research topics:

• First principles studies in surface chemistry and cluster physics
• New materials for the storage of hydrogen, carbon dioxide and methane
• Quantum chemical studies of weakly interacting atoms and molecules
• Spin-orbit and non-adiabatic coupling in molecules
• Electronic structure of small metal clusters: excited states and shell models
• Theoretical molecular spectroscopy
