Important Contributions:

Development of theoretical concepts and methods:
- Theory of vibronic coupling and vibrational structure of electronic
spectra of polyatomic molecules
- Theory of nuclear dynamics in resonant electron-molecule scattering
- Time-dependent wave-packet methods for the description of the
photophysics and photochemistry at conical intersections of potential-energy
surfaces
- Microscopic description of dissipative phenomena in large molecules
and chromophores in condensed phases
- Theory of femtosecond time-resolved nonlinear spectroscopy:
nonperturbative nonlinear optics, fs time-resolved photoelectron
spectroscopy
Applications:
- Calculations of the vibrational structure of numerous electronic
spectra
- Calculations of cross sections for inelastic electron-molecule
scattering, dissociative attachment and associative detachment;
analysis of threshold phenomena in low-energy electron collisions
with polar molecules
- Ultrafast photochemical dynamics (radiationless decay, photoisomerization)
at conical intersections in various molecular systems
- Vibronic and radiationless dynamics of high Rydberg states of
polyatomic molecules
- Ab initio exploration of photochemical reaction mechanisms in
molecules (e.g., aromatic H-bonded systems, amino acids, DNA bases),
clusters (e.g., chromophore-water clusters) and radicals (e.g.,
solvated electron)
- Modeling of ultrafast photoinduced electron-transfer processes
and conductance of molecular wires
- Calculations of various femtosecond time-resolved spectra (transient
transmittance, time-resolved fluorescence, time-resolved photoelectron
spectra) for a variety of systems
