Research Themes
We use a variety of methods for simulating condensed matter at
the atomic scale, ranging from empirical potentials to fully ab
initio calculations. Materials and their interfaces, liquids and
solutions are studied with the aim of explaining observed
phenomena in terms of basic atomic properties.
One of our defining strengths is the tradition of not only applying
existing modelling methods and computer codes to this wide range of problems,
but of developing our own methods and codes.
The Centre is currently exploring seven distinct research themes
