Dr. Ludwik Adamowicz is currently Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. Dr. Adamowicz has worked with the Department for 26 years in the area of physical chemistry. His research intrests has been focused on the development and application of quantum chemical theoretical methods for more accurate determination of the stationary and dynamic quantum states of molecular systems. The methodological development has comprised theory formulation, computational implementation and application calculations. The considerable recent progress in the computational capabilities of both hardware and software opens a unique opportunity to employ new theoretical techniques to larger polyatomic molecules, leading to more reliable predictions of their properties and structures.Dr. Adamowicz was born in Warsaw, Poland where he lived an conducted his master's studies at Warsaw University. He received his Ph.D at the Institute of Physical Chemistry at the Polish Academy of Sciences. Prior to his appointment with the University of Arizona, Dr. Adamowicz conduced post-doctoral work at Utah State University and the University of Florida before moving to Tucson.
