Department of Chemistry, Physics, and Atmospheric Sciences – CHEMISTRY
College of Science, Engineering, and Technology

 

Chemistry is the study of how matter behaves at its most basic level. The central science, chemistry, is involved in everything that we do. Its applications stretch across all areas of life, including medicine, engineering and agriculture.

Research Interests: Theoretical/Computational Chemistry
Theoretical: The Hill group focuses on developing tools that will provide accurate information about relatively large systems. Using Quantum Monte Carlo methods, Localization methods, basis set extrapolation methods and other innovative techniques, accurate calculations can be performed on systems that are computationally difficult.
Applications: Our research interests include the effect of Ultraviolet and ionizing radiation on  nucleic acids and biomolecules. A number of changes occur once these biomolecules are exposed to radiation. A number of these changes cannot be characterized through experimental methods. Excited States and Ionization properties will be calculated on a number of biosystems and nanomaterials. In addition, computational to will be used to evaluate the use of metals as possible drugs to treat a variety of diseases.
