Research interests
My research is highly interdisciplinary, eclectic, conceptual, diverse and international, working with research colleagues in the U.S., Australia, Canada, Germany, Israel, Portugal , Slovenia, and many other countries.. My major areas of research interest include exotic chemical structures, manifestations of molecular stabilization and destabilization, estimation of molecular properties, rules and regularities of chemical phenomena, and the periodic table itself.Teaching interests
My teaching interests are characterized by being highly interdisciplinary, conceptual and diverse. I actively seek understanding and explanations for the foundations of chemistry, mathematics, and the other natural sciences, and their interrelations with the social sciences and humanities.Education
