Research summary
AI-generated

Andrés S. Urbina works in computational and physical chemistry, using theoretical methods and spectroscopy to study how ions interact with water and to understand chemical bonding and electronic structure in molecules. Recent work includes Raman spectroscopy studies of how different ions affect the structure of surrounding water, as well as quantum chemistry calculations exploring electron distribution and molecular stability. This research combines computational modeling with experimental spectroscopic techniques to probe how molecules and ions behave and interact.
