Michael F. Falcetta

Michael F. Falcetta is a Professor of Chemistry at Grove City College, specializing in Physical Chemistry and Molecular Modeling. He holds a B.S. from the State University of New York College at Oswego and a Ph.D. from the University of Pittsburgh. He is an active member of the American Chemical Society.

His research focuses on computational and theoretical chemistry, with expertise in:

• Temporary anion states and electron attachment phenomena
• Ab initio calculations of ion-molecule interactions
• Potential energy surfaces for reactive systems
• Dynamics of electron impact excitation
• Quantum chemical analysis of molecular systems

Professor Falcetta's publications (spanning 1989–2017) demonstrate consistent focus on theoretical physical chemistry, particularly electron-molecule interactions, temporary anions, and ion collision dynamics. His work employs advanced computational methods to explore fundamental chemical phenomena.
