Physical Computational Chemistry

Dr. Schwartz's current research interests are in the areas of: (A) Molecular Dynamics simulations of polymer composites (in collaboration with the U. S. Air Force), and (B) Quantum Mechanical modeling of bonding and thermochemistry (enthalpies of formation, bond dissociation enthalpies and pi bond energies) in substituted alkenes and silenes.
