Kinetics and
dynamics of reactions between chemical species build up of oxygen and
hydrogen atoms relevant to atmospheric chemistry and combustion.
-
Potential Energy
Surfaces including long-range interactions and the role of these forces in
the dynamics of the reaction at low temperatures.
-
Dynamical studies are
carried out using both classical and quantum dynamics. The inclusion of
quantum effects in classical trajectories.

Reseach member (2007-...), in the area of
Structure and Reactivity Relationship, this research area aims to study structure -
reactivity correlations, through structural calculations and theoretical
and experimental kinetic studies of reactions, regarding the determination of their
dynamics and mechanisms.
Elementary processes relevant to atmospheric and combustion chemistry,
and group transfer reactions to nucleophiles with biological relevance are
the main topics of
this area.
