Research interests:

The research projects I am involved in concentrate on the calculation of NMR chemical shifts. Chemical shifts are very sensitive to subtle structural changes and thus a very careful evaluation of the input geometries is required. Our computational studies aim to answer interesting, biologically relevant questions about enzymatic cycles and modified RNA fragments.
