Biography
Valérie Brenner is a theoretical chemical physicist specialized in non-covalent interactions modeling and quantum chemistry computations of medium-sized and large molecular systems. She has always been working closely with different experimental teams and has acquired a wide experience in studying the physical chemistry of medium-sized and large molecular systems. After a period devoted to both modeling of intermolecular interactions and exploration of the large molecular systems potential energy surfaces during which she developed “homemade” codes, she has been recently invested in a new research field, i.e. computation of excited states of large molecular systems, focusing on the mechanisms of non-radiative relaxation in model protein chains.
