Physical and computational chemistry
Physical and computational chemistry uses experimental techniques and computer simulations to study the quantitative physical origins of chemical behaviour.
Our research projects in this discipline are wide-ranging, and feature:
- novel biomaterials
- energy technologies
- sensors
- opto-electronic devices
- enzyme catalysts
- molecular diagnostic tools.
Our research is closely linked with investigations into organic chemistry and inorganic chemistry, and we collaborate with colleagues who specialise in those disciplines on a wide range of multidisciplinary research projects.
