Vladimiro Mujica's research interests are in the areas of theoretical chemistry, nanoscience, electron transfer, solar energy, quantum relaxation theory and nanophotonics. He joined the faculty at Arizona State University in 2009.
He received his undergraduate education in chemistry was from the Universidad de Concepción in Chile and the Universidad Central de Venezuela in Venezuela. He obtained his doctorate in quantum chemistry from Uppsala University in Sweden in 1985. He was a visiting professor at the University of Tel Aviv, professor of chemistry at the Universidad Central de Venezuela and research professor at Northwestern University.
Our research is centered on modeling the behavior of complex physical and chemical systems. We are particularly interested in the description of quantum effects in the emerging behavior of systems of nanoscopic dimensions. Nanosystems may have very different optical, magnetic, chemical and electrical properties compared to the bulk system of the same material. Size and quantum effects determine these variations and we try to describe how they translate into the observed experimental behavior.
Our research is strongly guided and influenced by the interaction with experimental groups. This is of special importance in the modeling of nanosystems because of the complexity of the emerging physics and chemistry. We have ongoing research efforts with a strong international cooperation in several major areas:
