Darius Abramavičius

Darius Abramavičius is a Professor at the Institute of Chemical Physics within Vilnius University's Physics Faculty. He serves as Vice-head of Vilnius University Senate and is an active member of both the University Senate and the Physics Faculty Council. His research focuses on theoretical aspects of quantum dynamics in molecular systems.

Professor Abramavičius specializes in mathematical physics, statistical physics, quantum mechanics, and quantum relaxation theory. His research interests include molecular spectroscopy, excitons, paulions, 2DIR (two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy), 2DES (two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy), Redfield theory, and cumulant approach. His work bridges theoretical quantum mechanics with practical spectroscopic applications, particularly in understanding energy transfer processes in complex molecular systems.

His publication record demonstrates a consistent focus on developing theoretical frameworks for understanding quantum phenomena in molecular aggregates. The trend across his work shows progression from foundational theoretical models to increasingly sophisticated applications of multidimensional spectroscopy techniques. His research has particular relevance for understanding photosynthetic systems and designing novel photonic materials.

• Lithuanian National Award (2016)
• Vilnius Rector Award for scientific achievements (2014)

Professor Abramavičius has successfully supervised 2 PhD theses and currently mentors 2 additional PhD students. He has led multiple significant research projects including 'Evolution of optical excitations in heterogeneous molecular compounds' (2020-2022), 'Development of simulation approaches for coherent time resolved spectroscopy of photoactive molecular systems' (2015-2018), 'Nonequilibrium photoinduced dynamics in molecular aggregates' (2012-2014), and 'Modelling and Controlling of Exciton Quantum Dissipative Dynamics in Molecular Nanostructures' (2011-2015). His research group maintains active international collaborations, as evidenced by his numerous invited talks at institutions worldwide including Kansas State University, University of Michigan, and conferences across Europe.

He teaches advanced courses in Non-equilibrium statistical physics, Nonlocal mathematical physics, and applications of thermodynamics, contributing significantly to graduate education in theoretical physics at Vilnius University. His research group forms a vibrant hub for theoretical studies of quantum dynamics in molecular systems, with strong connections to experimental groups working on spectroscopic characterization of molecular materials.
