  • Noncovalent Interactions, Comenius University, Bratislava, Slovakia
  • other: Administration of Unix Bsed Systems, Unix Shell Programming, Perl Programming
 
Research interest
  • Highly accurate calculations of noncovalent interactions - application of coupled-cluster methods on interactions of DNA base pais, amino-acids, ... Special focus on many-body interactions, geometry effects, etc.
  • Development of new approximated methods, mostly applicable to noncovelnt interactions, like the scalend many-body perturbation theories (MBPT), dispersion corrected MBPT, empirical corrected NDDO methods, ...
  • Effective algorithms for ab initio quantum chemical methods - massive parallelization, graphical processing units, ...
