Dr hab. Michał F. Rode

   I'm a researcher working in Molecular Photophysics Group.

In my research, I'm using computational chemistry methods to predict photophysical properties of relatively small aromatic molecules. Even though I'm a theoretician, I'm eagerly cooperating with experimentalists to confront theoretical predictions with experimental findings. I focus on mechanistic aspects of the photophysical and photochemical processes on the molecular level. My hot topic is control of the processes by exerting the substituent effect in molecules. I am interested in modeling the molecular photoswitches built on photochromic molecules.
