In the group we use various computational modelling and simulation tools based on quantum mechanics and statistical physics to study catalytic reactions at different kinds of surfaces. We develop relationships between the composition and structure of the surface and the catalytic activity and selectivity to specific reaction products, including detailed mechanistic understanding about the dominant reaction pathways and rate-determining steps. As such, we work at the interface between physics and chemistry, with recent machine learning and compressed sensing-based methods applied having their origin in computer science.
