Welcome to my webpage!

Hi, I’m Ritika a Prime Minister Research Fellow (PMRF) at IIT Ropar. I have been working with Dr. T. J. Dhilip Kumar (Associate Professor) in the field of computational chemistry. My research is in the domain of ultracold chemistry and astrochemistry. My research interest focuses on connecting ab initio electronic structure methods with thermodynamic stabilities and kinetic rates of molecules. I use state-of-the-art electronic structure methods (coupled-cluster and multi-reference configuration interaction theories) in combination with a wide variety of techniques from quantum mechanics to solve relevant problems in chemistry. My research topic is “Electronic structure calculations and quantum dynamical study of neutral molecule-atom collisions."
