Aromaticity is key concept in chemistry and molecular physics, elucidating a spectrum of properties exhibited by certain cyclic compounds, including high stability, notable symmetry, low reactivity, and specific magnetic features. However, aromaticity is not easy to diagnose and quantify. For this reason, our main goal is to understand it from diverse physical quantities. 

My research encloses the detailed investigation of molecular magnetic response properties in the presence of an external magnetic field as a way to quantify aromaticity. These magnetic responses are determined using sophisticated methodologies, which combine electromagnetism and quantum-chemical computations, offering a robust rationalization of complex concepts like aromaticity and chemical bonding. Aware of the limitations of magnetic criteria to address aromaticity in general, we also explore other physical properties such as electronic delocalization indices, and many more are an ongoing investigation.
