Huix-Rotllant’s homepage

I’m Miquel Huix-Rotllant, CNRS researcher. My expertise is in theoretical chemistry, especially focused on modeling photochemistry of photoactive proteins.
Research
My current research focus on:
- Development of QM/MM methodologies for excited states.
- Energy dissipation in photoactive proteins.
- Quantum dynamics of spin transitions in organic and organometallic complexes.
I’m currently working on the photochemistry of these two proteins:
Myoglobin:
Cryptochrome:
