1. Developed powerful methods to combine aspects of Transition State Theory with reduced dimensionality quantum scattering treatment of reaction dynamics. Citations of two reviews of this work total 428 to date.<\/p>\n
2. Variational theory and software for molecular vibrations (especially vibrational self-consistent-field theory) and the “n-mode” representation of the potential, implemented in the code and the MULTIMODE. Citations of four key papers of this work total 759 to date.<\/p>\n
3. Ab initio-based potential energy surfaces in high dimensionality using permutationally invariant fitting basis. Highlights of this work include a potential surface for CH5<\/sub>+<\/sup>, the water dimer, the protonated water dimer, etc., described in Science<\/em> and Chemical and Engineering News<\/em>.<\/p>\n4. The discovery of “roaming dynamics\u201d in joint theoretical experimental study of photo dissociation of formaldehyde; research described in a Science<\/em> article.
