Professor Kokoouline' research interests revolve around a fully-quantum or adiabatic quantum description of nuclear dynamics of small poly-atomic molecules and collisions involving molecules, electrons, and photons. In particular, his current primary research area is elementary processes in cold plasma relevant for the interstellar medium, planetary atmospheres, and technological applications. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and is involved in many collaborative projects in the US, Austria, China, France, Germany, Russia, S.
Citation: "Quantemol offers a unique opportunity for the plasma and AMO communities to determine cross sections for a wide range of processes taking place in collisions of electrons with polyatomic molecules: elastic and inelastic collisions with or without photon emission. A very important characteristic of the package is that it can be used at different levels of complexity by non-experts for a quick estimate of the cross sections as well as by experts in electron-scattering theory seeking for highly-accurate and reliable cross-sections".
