RESEARCH IN CHEMISTRY

Our research projects are method-centered. We constantly create new flavors of simulation methods and apply them to the urgent problems of interest. We develop and use semiempirical molecular dynamics, ab initio Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics, classical molecular dynamics, coarse-grained molecular dynamics, reactive molecular dynamics, non-equilibrium molecular dynamics, potential energy landscape exploration, reaction coordinate scanning, enhanced sampling solutions, and a dozen of other mathematical methods in chemistry and molecular physics. 

Our research is disseminated via the world's top journals in every field of chemistry. All our primary journals are at the top of Q1 tier in the respective subfield. There are at least two hundred peer-reviewed scientific research papers published worldwide listing Professor Vitaly Chaban as a key contributor. With Hirsch-index close to forty, we have been perfectly visible participants in international science and innovative technology. Among a dozen of other areas of materials science, we made seminal contributions to understanding carbonaceous nanoscale structures, chemical energy sources, high-energy compounds, carbon dioxide capture, task-specific ionic liquids, non-aqueous solvents, polymers, and multicomponent liquid mixtures.

WORLDWIDE VISIBILITY

To date, i10-index is more than 130 calculated for papers authored by Prof. Chaban in the field of chemistry. The Hirsch-index is close to 40. Successful collaborations (terminated by publishing joint papers) with scientists representing all meaningful regions of the world from Japan through Europe to California including Eastern countries, South America, and so on. Invited review papers and encyclopedia entries covering the cutting edge issues of modern chemistry were published with top scientific publishing houses. Grant proposal evaluator and scientific articles evaluator in all meaningful destinations over the globe. Proactive-integral teaching philosophy.
