Research Interests
From a knowledge of the interactions among molecules, it is possible in principle to predict the structure and the thermodynamic properties of materials as well as the dynamics of molecular processes. The overall objective of our research program is twofold: to evaluate the potential energies of intermolecular interactions for various systems as accurately as possible and to study by means of statistical mechanics the influence of these potentials of intermolecular force on the structure and properties of macroscopic systems.
