Curret research interests:

Modeling and interpretation of infrared and Raman spectra of ordinary, half-deuterated, and heavy water in a wide range of temperatures and also of its complexes with non-electrolytes on the basis of the fluctuation theory with the account for intramolecular vibration coupling (Fermi resonance included) using their quantum-mechanical description. Creation of a potential of hydrogen bond on the basis of theoretical reconstruction of temperature evolution of the OH vbration bandshape of the experimental spectra for the purpose of its use for the analysis of structure and energy distribution in a network of hydrogen bonds found in molecular dynamics models.
