Professor Ezra's research covers aspects of dynamics in chemistry and physics. He is interested in the role of symmetry in physical problems, employing classical, semi-classical, and quantum approaches to atomic and molecular systems, as well as the geometrical aspects of Hamiltonian and non-Hamiltonian dynamics. His research focuses on bound state reaction dynamics in molecular and atomic systems, including intramolecular vibrational energy transfer, unimolecular dissociation, and collisional energy transfer. Professor Ezra utilizes classical trajectory methods and semiclassical theories to investigate fundamental problems in intramolecular collision dynamics and seeks novel semiclassical approaches to characterize highly excited states of few-body Coulomb systems. A central aim of his work is to achieve a detailed understanding of intramolecular energy flow and its consequences for spectroscopy and chemical kinetics. He particularly seeks chemically useful correlations between the shapes of molecular potential energy surfaces and reactive bound-state dynamics, often exploring the relationship between classical and quantum mechanics in the context of chemical systems involving molecular Hamiltonians and multielectron atoms.
