SYMMETRY ADAPTED PERTURBATION THEORY

Many of my papers were devoted to the derivation of open-shell SAPT or calculations of dispersion free interactions energies.



METASTABLE ATOMS AND PENNING IONIZATION STORY

I had the honour to collaborate with one best experimental group working with collisions in molecular beams.  This was the first-ever case of precise prediction of positions of collisional resonances from first principles.

FESHBACH RESONANCES IN COLD COLLISIONS

Control of interaction strength is vital for quantum simulations,  Bose-Einstein condensation, magneto-association, and many other experiments in cold matter physics. I was involved in studies of a novel type of  Feshbach resonances between various atoms, which are the subject of studies in most recent experiments. 



SAPT APPLICATIONS

Some recent examples of applications of SAPT include squarine  clusters and atmospheric species: like super important CO2+ O2 complex (for which one needs open-shell SAPT). More applications are on their way.

ASTROCHEMISTRY

I merely started, but I have some papers already. Our expertise in accurate interaction potentials can be used in calculations of collision rates relevant to astrochemistry. These include collisions with hydrogen and helium atoms, but also reactive surfaces - or actually, their fragments are enough in some cases. 


COLD MOLECULES, THEORETICAL SPECTROSCOPY

In Torun we have great opportunity to interact with ultra cold physics experiments. One of the unique ones is experiment on formation of exotic Hg+Rb molecules. Our group helps to explain the spectra of these molecules, and designs optical transfer go Hg+Rb to the absolute ground state. Also,  we plan similar experiments for Hg dimer.
