Research Activity
Her scientific work covers several areas of theoretical computational chemistry ranging from the study
of the interaction of atoms and molecules on solid surfaces and surface phenomena such as relaxation
and reconstruction, the theoretical interpretation of structural and electronic characteristics of inorganic and organic systems, developing of model potentials and base functions for determining a large number of spectroscopic parameters, the application of algorithms for finding transition states, conformational study of macromolecules of biological interest as amino acids, peptides, and bases of nucleic acids and their interaction with metal ions. Numerous studies relate to the theoretical discussion solvent effects, working mechanisms of natural antioxidants, indexes of reactivity. Currently the interest is mainly aimed at understanding the mechanisms of action of enzyme systems and to the organocatalysis field
