Scholar-generated biography
Rachel Crespo-Otero is an Associate Professor at University College London specializing in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry, with a focus on Theoretical Photochemistry and Nonadiabatic Dynamics. Her research explores the simulation of excited state dynamics using advanced computational methods, including surface hopping and nuclear ensemble approaches. She has contributed significantly to the development of software tools like NEWTON-X for nonadiabatic dynamics simulations. Her work addresses complex phenomena such as excited-state proton transfer, aggregation-induced emission, and the behavior of molecules under ultrafast photoinduced conditions. Crespo-Otero's research bridges theoretical models with experimental observations to advance understanding of photochemical processes.
