Machine Learning and Computational Techniques in AMO
We explore and design new algorithms to achieve efficient simulation of any molecular reaction, and develop AI predictors for spectroscopic constants of various chemical systems.
Cold and Ultracold Chemistry
We primarily consider physical/chemical reactions involving atoms, molecules, ions, and Rydbergs occurring at extremely low temperatures – below 1K – since quantum mechanical effects may dominate the dynamics and new possibilities of chemical control over the reactions emerge.
We study complex chemical reactions – relevant in chemical physics, atmospheric physics, and plasma physics – such as three-body recombination of atoms and ions, formation of molecular clusters, thermalization of atom-ion systems, amongst others.
Physics Beyond the Standard Model
In our group, we study the possibility of finding new physics beyond the Standard Model through atomic and molecular systems. In particular, we exploit the capability of controlling internal degrees of freedom in molecules to propose novel detectors for dark matter, as well as employ spectroscopic means to probe new physics.
