Research with Dr. Marmorino
Research with Dr. Marmorino
Ph.D. 1999 - Virginia Tech
Quantum, theoretical, mathematical, and physical chemistry
Although Marmorino is the physical chemist at IU South Bend, his research area is theoretical in the area of quantum chemistry. As such, he is rarely found in the laboratory. His main efforts go toward elucidating strategies to calculate lower bounds to the energy levels of quantum systems, but he has dabbled in other projects as well. Most of Marmorino's research projects require some experience with computer programming (he uses Mathematica) and confidence with calculus. Bizarrely, students usually don't need to have taken physical chemistry prior to joining him on a project, although having taken the quantum mechanics version of physical chemistry (CHEM-C 362) will certainly be helpful.
