Mike Robb's work involves the development of methodology in quantum chemistry and computational studies of photochemical reactivity. His method development includes electronic structure methods, ab initio molecular dynamics, and the Gaussian program for electronic structure computations. He focuses on photochemical reactivity problems, known non-adiabatic chemistry, and electron transfer mechanisms. Robb's research has advanced important areas in experimental development, including classical mechanistic organic photochemistry, photoinduced electron transfer, inorganic femtochemistry, and energy transfer mechanisms in bichromophoric systems. His recent work has centered on electronic nuclear dynamics and issues related to asynchronous charge migration. Utilizing laser excitation to observe fast electron dynamics has been a significant part of his research. His collective work is featured in the book 'Theoretical Chemistry Electronic Excited States', published by the RSC. He currently holds a Leverhulme Emeritus Fellowship for his project on controlling electrons in excited state chemistry.
