About me
About me
I am a theoretical chemist at the University of Oxford. My research asks how electronic motion initiated by attosecond and few-femtosecond light pulses influences molecular structure and reactivity, and whether electronic coherence can be engineered to steer chemical dynamics. I develop quantum and mixed quantum–classical methods that connect nonadiabatic dynamics, molecular photoionization, and time-resolved photoelectron observables.
