Research interests
Our research projects cover electronic structure calculations in transition metal complexes with highly correlated methods, electronic excited states properties, reactivity and quantum dynamics. Our research work aims at interpretating photochemical and photophysical experiments and complex mechanisms, involving excited states, such as inorganic photoisomerization, photophysics of metal complexes DNA intercalators or ultra-fast (fs) intersystem crossing processes in transition metal complexes.
