My research interests are in theoretical and computational chemistry.  I apply popular methods such as DFT and solvent models toward understanding chemical phenomena and am interested in developement of theoretical models too.  Recently I developed a classically inspired method to accurately describe FC transitions in cyanine dyes based on TD-DFT results and developed a simple pharmacokinetic model to understand the linear relationship between quantum chemical lipophilicities and terminal elimination half-life of antimalarial drugs.  My older work involves extension of quantum mechanical molecular structural formulas, Valency Interaction Formulas, to be be based on one-electron density in molecules.
