We are a computational group focusing on the theory and simulation of physical phenomena
which span wide spatial and dynamical scales, from photoexcitations of electrons to the dynamics
of structure formation of biomolecular systems. Our methodology ranges from electronic structure theory
and quantum Monte Carlo approaches to coarse grain molecular and Brownian dynamics. Using similar methods, we
also investigate the flow properties of soft matter. Our activities encompass both practical problems and the
development of novel computational methods when needed.
The group is part of the Faculty of Science and
Technology and its research is embedded in the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology
and the Twente Center for Scientific Computing.
