The <b><em>Institute of Computational Chemistry </em></b>has been configured from the so-called
Laboratory for Computational Chemistry (founded by <a href="../cat/carbo.html">
Dr. R. Carbo</a> in 1985), formed mostly
by researchers from the Department of Chemistry, especially from the Area of Knowledge of
Physical Chemistry. This Institute develops specialized studies in the field where Chemistry,
Physics, Applied Mathematics and Computer Science intersect. This Institute provides also
interdisciplinary studies dedicated to Computational Chemistry in the different aspects of basic
and applied research. This Institute provides a deep insight into subjects typical of Theoretical
Chemistry and Quantum Physical Chemistry; further, it gathers subjects akin to <b>Biochemistry,
Analytic and Organic Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Fine Chemistry, Physics, and
applied Computer Science and Mathematics</b>.
<p>
      The Institute tries to deal, among others, with the development of knowledge in the
following fields: 
<ul>
<li>Application of Computer Science to Chemistry 
<li>Application of Quantum
Mechanics to the understanding of the chemical bond
<li>Description and development of new
concepts within applied Quantum Mechanics
<li>Development of new mathematical techniques
applied to Chemistry
<li>New algorithms in Theoretical Chemistry
<li>Artificial Intelligence
software for use in Molecular Engineering
<li>Research of suitable hardware and software for the
optimal resolution of problems related to Chemistry
<li>Test of state-of-the-art technology in
Computer Science to be able to obtain the best results
to create know-how for consulting
purposes in the Chemical Industry.
</ul>
So here are our <a href="objectiu.html">our goals</a>.
