The Department of Chemistry
@ Eastern Michigan University
My general area of research is the study of electronic structure and reactivity of molecules through molecular orbital calculations. Calculations are carried out using ab initio methods such as Hartree-Fock-Roothaan theory or Density Functional Theory. My research group usually includes several undergraduate students and the occasional graduate student. Most of the undergraduate students start their independent projects in their sophomore year.
