Computational Physical Chemistry
Welcome to the Computational Physical Chemistry Group
Our research focuses on understanding solvation and molecular interactions in aqueous interfacial environments using statistical mechanics and state-of-the-art molecular simulation methods. We develop computational methods for deriving supra-atomic coarse-grained models for multiscale simulations of molecular and macromolecular systems.

Osmolyte and cosolvent effects in stimuli-responsive soft matter systems
DIGITAL EVENT / CONFERENCE (25-26 February 2021)
Over the past few years, there have been many exciting new developments that have contributed enormously to the understanding of the mechanism of osmolytes and cosolvents in stimuli-responsive soft matter systems, including gels, brushes, nano-particles, and so on. This meeting brings together experts in the fields of experiment, theory, and simulation to discuss these developments.
