Area of research
Development and application of theoretical methods derived from quantum mechanics for chemistry and materials science.
Specialised in
Ab-initio methods for highly-accurate study of functional systems and spectroscopy, catalysis, in silico design of novel materials and processes.
HPC means for me
An exciting combination of excellent computational resources and forefront computational methods, which allows us to explain and predict properties of challenging chemical systems and complex processes.
