Research Group of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry - GIQTC

Reference of the Group:

GIUV2013-116

 
Description of research activity:

The group has extensive research experience in the field of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry, as well as in the areas of grid computing and eScience. The research activity of the group has mainly focused on the application of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry techniques to systems of technological interest. The research focuses on the study of the electronic and optical properties of molecular and polymeric materials for use in molecular electronics and energy storage and includes the development of new methodologies for the study of chemical processes. On the more technical side, the group's efforts have also focused on the implementation of Grid technology, for the efficient and productive use and exploitation of computational resources through scientific grid computing and its application to eScience.
