Physical and Theoretical Chemistry

Computer simulation of the structure of citrate synthase Physical and theoretical chemistry underlies all chemistry and, increasingly, biology, engineering and medicine. It is becoming ever more important as the investigative and computation capabilities of chemists continue to increase. This section of the School of Chemistry encompasses a very wide range of important and exciting research interests, which partition loosely into a number of sub-groupings, covering broad areas of Molecular Science and of Colloid Science. All serve to build on, and extend, the longstanding strength of the School as a leading international centre for physical and theoretical chemistry. Research seminars by invited external speakers are also held regularly.
