Welcome to the Theoretical Physical Chemistry Group

Our research is centered around the simulation of soft materials, including:

Polymers and other (bio)macromolecules in the bulk, in solution and at interfaces
Polymeric materials, (nano)composites, functional and smart materials
Simple and complex liquids, including systems far from equilibrium

We aim to (i) predict their properties with quantitative accuracy and to (ii) understand the molecular origin of their observed macroscopic behaviour, for example:

Surface and interface phenomena: interfacial tension, wetting, adsorption, adhesion
Molecular transport: diffusion, permeation, ionic conduction, sorption, swelling
Thermal transport: thermal conductivity, thermal diffusion (Soret effect)
Viscosity and viscoelastic behaviour
Molecular structure and mesoscopic morphology

We develop new methods, new models and force fields, as well as new software for, e.g.:

Multiscale simulation: systematic development of coarse-grained models, backmapping
Non-equilibrium molecular dynamics
New methods for surface tensions and wetting
New forcefields for fluids, polymers and interfaces
New software for atomistic and mesoscale molecular dynamics, parallelisation
