Our work focuses on the computational investigation of the electronic structure and reactivity of molecules and solids from all areas of the periodic table, with particular focus on the f elements, and on problems in molecular catalysis. We employ a variety of quantum chemical techniques based on density functional and ab initio theories.

PhD studentship available in molecular catalysis: Dinitrogen PhD project
