Numerical simulation and modeling in chemistry

 

Contact : Jérôme Roques

Research activities description

Numerical simulation represents a transverse axis in the E&E pole, the objective of which is to develop theoretical chemistry activities in close collaboration with the pole’s experimentalists on research topics associated with nuclear energy. Several topics of research are thus addressed:
