Scientific interests:

  • His primary interests include the theory of intermolecular interactions and ab initio calculations of the electronic structure of van der Waals clusters.
  • Perturbation analysis of the supermolecular method in calculations of the interaction energies and elucidating of the origin of the basis- set superposition error are among his most important acheivements.
  • Van der Waals complexes in the entrance channel of chemical reactions.
  • Atom-molecule interaction, radical-molecule interaction, open-shell and molecule-molecule interaction.
  • Application of DFT to intermolecultra interactions.
  • He has published over one hundred forty papers.
