Research interests

1) Development of numerical schemes for the phase-space sampling and to calculate chemical-physical properties via computer simulations (molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo).
2) Theoretical aspects of nonequilibrium thermodynamics.
3) Development of polarizable force fields for computer simulations.

4) Molecular modeling of systems of biochemical and biophysical interest. Dynamical and structural properties of isolated molecules, molecular clusters and condensed phase systems via molecular mechanics methods, molecular dynamics simulations and ab initio calculations.

5) Aspects regarding the correlation between properties at the microscopic level and optical activity of biomolecules and simple liquids, with special attention to the development of models for the interpretation or the prediction of optical spectra.
