Professor Mike Robb is a Chair in Chemistry at Imperial College London's Department of Chemistry within the Faculty of Natural Sciences. His research focuses on developing quantum chemistry methods and studying photochemical reactivity, particularly non-adiabatic processes involving electronic and nuclear dynamics. He leads work on ab initio molecular dynamics, electronic structure methods (including contributions to the Gaussian software), and applications to systems like radical cations, conical intersections, and ultrafast photochemical reactions. His group has published extensively on topics such as charge migration, electronic coherence control, and the theoretical underpinnings of excited-state dynamics.
- Affiliations: Chemical Physics, Frontiers of Ultrafast Measurement
- Key Research Tools: Gaussian software, CASSCF, Ehrenfest methods
His work bridges method development and application, with notable contributions to understanding electron-nuclear coupling in systems like glycine, polyenes, and aromatic compounds. A recent book consolidates his theoretical framework for electronic excited states. Awards include Fellowship of the Royal Society (FRS).
