Investigação

 


Research interests

  • 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.

 

Research Center

  • Centro de Investigação em Química do  Algarve - CIQA
    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.
