CURRENT RESEARCH PROJECTS

My research interest is application of microscopic description using quantum mechanics to all sort of physical problems. Especially I favour projects involving use of time-dependent description of systems. Resent examples have been application of quantum mechanics to astrophysical problems, namely, to radiative association, fine structure excitation of atoms during collisions with hydrogen, rotational excitation of molecules. Before I have used quantum dynamics to study evolution of molecules under influence of time dependent femtosecond laser pulses. When necessary I calculate and fit potential energy surfaces using MOLPRO.

After my return to Latvia I've been involved in crystal growth and nanophysics projects. Recently, I am working on theoretical description of Single electron devices..
