Massimo Olivucci is a Research Professor at Bowling Green State University's College of Arts and Sciences, affiliated with the Center for Photochemical Sciences and Chemistry Department. He has served at the institution since 2006 and directs the Laboratory for Computational Photochemistry and Photobiology. Contact details include his office at 302 Physical Sciences Laboratory Building and phone number 419.372.7606.
- Ph.D., University of Bologna, Italy (1988)
- M.S., University of Bologna, Italy
Dr. Olivucci specializes in computational investigations of photochemical processes, focusing on the reactivity of organic and biological molecules in electronically excited states. His work emphasizes mapping photon-induced molecular motion through photochemical reaction paths involving conical intersections and singlet/triplet surface crossings. Key methodologies combine ab-initio quantum chemical methods with molecular mechanics for studying light-driven reactions in complex systems like proteins and solvated molecules.
As Director of the Laboratory for Computational Photochemical Sciences, he leads research initiatives that bridge theoretical chemistry with practical applications in photoreceptor biology and dye photophysics. His work provides foundational insights into non-adiabatic reaction dynamics and energy transfer processes.
