Theoretical Chemistry
Theoretical chemistry at UC Davis spans a wide range of theoretical and computational methods applied to chemical and biological systems. Faculty interests include the development and application of quantum chemical and molecular mechanics simulation methods to diverse topics such as dynamic processes involved in the formation of nanomaterials; structures, dynamics and transport of ions through biological membranes; basic processes of electron-driven chemistry; biological electron and proton transfer processes; bonding and electronic structures of unusual inorganic and organic molecules; mechanisms of organic and organometallic reactions; and rational drug design. Synergistic collaborations between theorists and experimentalists are extremely common.
