MPhil Theoretical Chemistry at University of Manchester

Model chemistry at the quantum level. Computational and theoretical chemistry research applies quantum mechanical methods to molecular and solid-state chemistry, from heavy element electronic structure to the role of quantum mechanics in biological processes such as electron and hydrogen transfer. As a postgraduate researcher in this Department of Chemistry research theme, you may apply methods including quantum chemical calculations and machine learning to uncover the fundamental principles governing reactivity and selectivity or lattice dynamics modelling to develop more efficient...
