Research Interests
Our research involves fundamental theoretical studies of the dynamics
of complex, condensed matter systems. A primary goal of this research
is the formulation of predictive mathematical theories to characterize
important condensed phase dynamical problems. A second-and equally important-goal
is to develop new theoretical methods which allow one to maximize the
potential of the computer as a research tool. The latter methods are developed
to probe complex phenomena through large-scale computer simulation. The
overall goal of our effort is to advance the frontier of theoretical methodology
in physical chemistry, while at the same time applying that methodology
to highly complex systems of chemical, biological, material, and environmental
relevance. The breadth and depth of research topics in our group is too
great to be adequately described in the limited space allowed for this
brochure. Please see the URL http://voth.hec.utah.edu
