My current research interests include the ab initio prediction of the
speciation of metal ions in the presence of complexing ligands in aqueous
solution; the prediction of the properties of domoic acid, a marine neurotoxin;
the prediction of the properties of gas hydrates as found both as a nuisance
in the pipeline industry and in nature as a potential hydrocarbon resource.
I am also interested in solvation effects and in geometry optimization.
