Introduction

The mission of Yamashita-Ushiyama laboratory is theoretical elucidation and control of chemical reaction dynamics. Our research interest varies from foundamental theories such as quantum chemistry and semiclassical dynamics to more application side, as computational chemistry and modeling of catalysis. Based on the methodology of the theoretical chemistiry, we are pursuing the development of the ab initio chemistry.
