Mike Robb is a computational chemist specializing in theoretical chemistry, with a focus on conical intersections and non-adiabatic dynamics. His research explores the behavior of molecules during photochemical reactions, particularly in organic systems and biological chromophores. Robb's work includes the application of advanced quantum mechanical methods, such as density functional theory (DFT) and multi-configurational self-consistent field (MC-SCF) approaches, to model potential energy surface crossings and ultrafast electronic transitions. His studies have contributed to understanding processes like retinal photoisomerization and the photoactivation of photoactive yellow protein. His research emphasizes the development of computational tools for direct dynamics simulations and the analysis of non-adiabatic effects in molecular systems.
