Interface between electronic structure, spectroscopy, and dynamics

Modeling spectra is crucial for interpreting the experimental measurements and validating electronic structure methodology. We develop computational tools for modeling FCFs, anharmonic effects, photoionization and photodetachment cross sections, and more. Within electronic structure domain, more work remains to be done for modeling non-linear optical phenomena, core-level spectra, and spectroscopic signatures of resonances. The inspiration for this work often comes from collaborations with experimentalists.
