text: Much of Baldridges research involves finding better ways to use quantum mechanical methodologies to study complex molecules. She has published several articles that attempt to help theoretical chemists, some of which include Theoretical Study of Fluorine Atom and Fluorine Ion Attack on Methane and Silane and A Novel Approach to Superimposing Molecules'. Baldridge has contributed to quantum mechanical computer programs such as GAMESS (US), QMView, and GEMSTONE. GAMESS stands for General Atomic and Molecular Electronic System, and is an advanced chemistry program for calculations including generalized valence bond, the Hartree-Fock method, and density functional theory.
