Please note, I am already retired and cannot take new Ph.D. students.
My main research topic is: MCTDH 'Multi-Configuration Time-Dependent Hartree'
MCTDH is a very efficient algorithm to solve the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for multidimensional dynamical systems (e.g. the ro-vibrational and dissociative motion of molecules).
See the MCTDH Homepage for further details.

Interview

Note
There will be a 8th edition of the "High dimensional quantum dynamics: Challenges and Applications" workshop, HDQD2026. It will take place in Salamanca, Spain from the 7th to the 10th of July 2026, organized by Sandra Gómez & Cristina Sanz-Sanz. See https://hdqd2026.wordpress.com/.

A new book entitled "Applications of Quantum Dynamics in Chemistry" written by Fabien Gatti, Benjamin Lasorne, Hans-Dieter Meyer and André Nauts has been published (Sep. 2017) in the series "Lectures Notes in Chemistry" (Springer).

This book explains the usage and application of Molecular Quantum Dynamics, the methodology where both the electrons and the nuclei in a molecule are treated with quantum mechanical calculations. The reader learns how to apply example simulations with the Heidelberg MCTDH program package (Multi Configuration Time Dependent Hartree calculations).
