Our computational systems chemistry research activities are broadly based, covering multiple length, timescales, and methods, but are founded on strong activity in the development of new theories and computational techniques. The research is unified by the common theme of exploring interacting systems, where the larger scale behaviour of the whole system arises from complex interactions of individual smaller components. Our activities are underpinned by the University's 8000-core supercomputer, which is currently the largest in any UK university, and by an EPSRC-funded Centre for Doctoral Training in Complex Systems Simulation. Our research covers a broad range of domains from nanoscale materials properties, atmospheric chemistry, through to biological systems.
