Research Interests:

Professor Harris' research is in the area of theoretical electronic methods to applications involving specific systems. Current work includes the development of rigorous methods for studying surface and interfacial systems, the use of coupled-cluster techniques for describing electron correlation both in molecules and extended systems, and the implementation of improved approximate methods for studies of large molecules. Other recent work includes theoretical studies of electron-atom scattering and of reactive pathways for transitions useful in laser physics.
