Dr. Gusarov is a physicist with strong experience in theoretical and computational methods of electronic structure calculations. The main focus of his research interests is the development and application of new computational methods of theoretical physics, including quantum mechanics, and quantum/theoretical chemistry for prediction and understanding the behavior of the systems on multiple length scales. Of special interest are methods for:
- Electronic Structure Calculations of Complex Systems (multireference Density Functional Theory)
- Molecular theory of Solvation (integral equation theory of molecular liquids)
- Reactions at solid-liquid, liquid-liquid interfaces
- Nanosupported catalysis
- Nonlinear spectroscopy of the strongly interacting systems
- Electronic properties of highly correlated systems
He also takes active part in development of modern computational chemistry software, working in the teams of developers of well known computational chemistry packages: MOLCAS (University of Lund, Sweden), ADF (University of Calgary, Canada) and AMBER (Scripps Research Institute, USA).
