Research interests:

I am focusing on properties development for our recently developed Constraint-Based Orbital-Optimized Excited State Method (COOX), we are able to obtain excited states with arbitrary excitation patterns – including states with significant double-excitation character – at the density functional theory level with high algorithmic stability. The adherence to an Aufbau principle facilitates the straightforward computation of molecular gradients and enables the application of a large portion of the typical ground-state toolkit.

Currently I am working on the development of vibrationally resolved spectra using COOX and with analytical excited states nuclear Hessians.
