Navigating Potential Energy Surfaces to Understand Chemical Reactions
-Hrant Hratchian

Develop new computational algorithms to investigate reaction pathways and other chemical properties

Efforts have lead to
  • development of two new reaction path following procedures
  • a novel method for treating the elusive transition state problem
  • a new understanding of a series of reactions that yield precursors to compounds that serve as research tools in pharmacology
