Group presentation
The group has a longstanding experience in statistical mechanical simulations of condensed matter, quantum chemistry, and other methods of theoretical and computational chemistry. This expertise allows to cover a wide field of activities, ranging from the study of elementary chemical reactions to supramolecular chemistry and simulations of condensed phases. In addition, the group manages and runs a computer center ( "Pôle Modélisation") to bring together the theoreticians and experimentalists of the institute and coordinates the QuantumChemPhys transborder joint laboratory.

Research activity
> Ultra-cold atom diatom collisions
> Electronic structure calculation of reaction mechanism
> Non-adiabatic reaction dynamics
> New perspective in Transition State Theory
> Electron molecule scattering
