General The group is working in diverse fields, ranging from the development of quantum chemical methods and software to electronic structure theory and computational chemistry. Method development focuses on density functional theory (DFT), relativistic effects, and surface-molecule interactions. The groups research has resulted in the well-known quantum chemical code ADF, which is used worldwide. Much … [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]
