MODELLING EXCITED STATES FOR ENERGY APPLICATIONS

Research Group: Chemistry
Number of Students: 2
Length of Study in Years: 4 Years
Full-time Project: yes

Funding

This studentship is funded via a studentship from the China Scholarship Council.  CSC is offering a monthly stipend to cover living expenses and QMUL is waving fees and hosting the student. These scholarships are available only for Chinese candidates. 

Project Description

Modelling excited processes is essential for understanding processes underlying energy applications. The research at the Crespo-Otero group focuses on the investigation of excited states in the condensed phase.

The students will be involved in the investigation of excited states in MOFs with applications in photocatalysis and CO2 reduction and/or the design of efficient optoelectronic materials (2 studentships are available).

For the development of these projects, the student will be trained in the use of standard and in-house approaches for the calculation of excited state mechanisms in the condensed phase. We are looking for a very motivated students with experience in computational chemistry either in molecular or solid-state calculations.
