Description of the research topic:
We seek deeper insight into the dynamics and mechanisms of chemical reactions by applying the laws of physics to the chemical problem utilizing the tools of mathematics and informatics. We can follow the chemical reactions step-by-step, thereby we may discover novel reaction mechanisms and we can improve our predictive knowledge on mode- and bond-selective chemical reactivity, which can allow controlling the outcome of a chemical reaction, which has always been the dream of chemists. We are interested in the reactions of few-atom systems, such as methane/ethane plus atoms, the bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (SN2) reactions, and reactions of small biosystems. We have active collaborations with world-leading experimental research groups from Taiwan to the USA.
