Important Contributions:

• Development and application of advanced quantum mechanical methods for spectroscopic properties of chiral compounds, including reduced-scaling coupled cluster methods for chiroptical and other response properties, local-correlation approaches to real-time coupled cluster models, coupled-cluster simulations of Raman optical activity spectra (with Kenneth Ruud, Tromsø, Norway), a diagrammatic approach to the stochastic Monte Carlo coupled cluster method (with Alex Thom, Cambridge, U.K.), and correlated wave-function-based approaches to vibrational circular dichroism spectra.
