This presentation outlines three key research directions pursued by our group. First, we investigate the structural, spectroscopic, and dynamical properties of ultracold molecular ions, specifically alkaline-earth–alkali systems like BeAlk? and CaAlk?, using high-level ab initio methods. We explore formation pathways via photoassociation, STIRAP, and radiative processes, with applications in quantum computing and metrology. Second, we develop pseudopotential-based models to study alkali–rare gas excimers (e.g., RbAr, CsXe, RbHe, … ), enabling accurate prediction of spectroscopic properties and absorption profiles for high-power laser development. Finally, we apply quantum chemistry methods to environmental and energy challenges, including the degradation kinetics of toxic compounds like pentachlorophenol and the design of functionalized carbon materials for hydrogen storage. Our work links fundamental quantum theory with technological and sustainability applications.
