Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry

 

Theoretical Chemistry

The Theory Research Interest Group focuses on the development and application of theoretical and computational chemistry techniques. The group is highly interdisciplinary and collaborative, and is deeply engaged with the multi-department Lennard-Jones Centre for Computational Materials Science. Our aim is to advance fundamental understanding and computational tools in all areas of molecular science, and soft and condensed matter. Active research projects cover quantum dynamics and electronic structure, statistical mechanics, electrochemistry, machine learning, drug discovery, and energy landscapes from materials science to soft matter and biophysics.

Postgraduate applications

The Theory Group are always interested in receiving applications from highly qualified and talented candidates for postgraduate research. Find out more about our postgraduate study options and admissions process.
