Scott Habershon

Professor


The Habershon group is interested in developing and applying new computational methods to model chemical dynamics in complex systems.

Current interests include auto-construction of complex chemical reaction networks, efficient and accurate reaction rate calculations, and design of photo-switchable systems like photo-catalysts and sensors.

Current research interests include:

  • Development of new graph-based strategies for auto-construction of complex chemical reaction networks describing catalysis, combustion and atmospheric processes;
  • Development of new on-the-fly methods for modelling photochemistry using wavepacket-based strategies combined with machine-learning;
  • Design of molecular systems with photo-switchable properties, including sensors and photo-acids.
  • Development of fast and efficient methods for accurate reaction rate calculations.

I teach the following modules:
