- Welcome to the Theoretical Chemistry group
The main goal of the THEOR CHEM group is to achieve the ability to predict the outcome of chemical reactions involving hydrogen from first principles. This goal is important in almost all fields of chemistry and in many fields of physics. Read more about our research in the research section.
