David A. Dixon is a Professor and Robert Ramsay Chair in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Alabama, College of Arts and Sciences. His research focuses on computational chemistry, particularly fluorine chemistry, materials science, quantum chemistry, and environmental chemistry.
- Specialties: Analytical, Biochemistry, Inorganic, Materials, Physical, Organic
Dr. Dixon applies electronic structure theory and numerical simulations to solve chemical problems relevant to experimental chemists and engineers. His work spans computational catalysis, thermochemistry, kinetics, relativistic effects in actinide chemistry, NMR chemical shifts prediction for fluorinated materials, and force field development for separation materials. He emphasizes large-scale computing systems and computational method selection.
His research addresses environmental challenges for the Department of Energy's nuclear weapons production complex and advances density functional theory. Affiliations include Shelby Hall (2014) at the University of Alabama.
