The current research activities concerns:
-Implementation of new computational algorithms and applications to the study of the electronic structure of molecular systems containing heavy elements in the framework of the development of the full relativistic code BERTHA.
-Development and applications of novel methods of the analysis of the chemical bond based on fundamental observables such as the variation of the electronic density.
-Gold chemistry
- Development of new method to describe molecules in (very) strong external field.
