We are a group of computational organic chemists. That is, we use modern computational quantum chemistry to solve problems in the general area of organic chemistry.

The problems we are interested in are the same as other organic chemists--understanding reactivity, selectivity, and catalysis, as well as the nature of non-covalent interactions. Although we are a purely computational group, what drives us is chemistry, not the computations themselves. In other words, most of our efforts are directed towards distilling computational data into robust by simple models to explain various chemical phenomena.
