Agent-Based modeling of molecular self-assembly We are looking for an enthusiastic candidate to work on the modeling of molecular self-assembly with innovative techniques.  This ambitious research project puts together ideas developed for the study of complex systems with more conventional molecular modeling techniques. The candidates have preferably a MSc level education in Chemistry, Physics or … [More Info]

The project aims to address long-standing mechanistic disparities of the catalytic cycles (i.e., electron transfer; binding, transport, and activation of molecular oxygen; and the actual catalytic reactions) using state of the art theoretical methods. The combination of high level ab initio and DFT methods in combination with fast force field techniques (QM/MM) will be used … [More Info]
