معرفی
Prof. dr. H.B. (Ria) Braam is a Professor in Theoretical Chemistry at the University of Groningen, affiliated with the Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials within the Faculty of Science and Engineering. Her research focuses on computational and theoretical methods to study molecular electronic structure, with a particular emphasis on non-orthogonal configuration interaction (NOCI) for large molecular systems. She leads projects on singlet fission, exciton dynamics, and electronic coupling in organic materials.
Her expertise includes quantum chemistry, molecular modeling, and high-performance computing. Key contributions include the development of the GronOR software for NOCI calculations and studies on dielectric properties of organic semiconductors. Braam holds additional roles such as Member of the FWO Chemistry Committee and Editorial Board of the International Journal of Quantum Chemistry.
Recent research highlights include advancements in NOCI methodologies for singlet fission mechanisms, triplet diffusion in molecular materials, and computational strategies for energy transport. Her work bridges fundamental theory with applications in materials science and photovoltaics.
