Mission Statement

The Laboratory of Chemical Informatics is organized around loosely connected research topics. Our projects tackle various chemical problems with the intensive application of informatics and computational methods. The studied systems cover a wide range in size, complexity and function from isolated gas phase molecules, small and medium sized molecular clusters, simple solvent models and crystalline structures to large, biologically relevant molecules. The methods of the investigations in the laboratory include various level electronic structure calculations, Monte Carlo simulations, classical and quantum molecular dynamics simulations. The group members are also active in the development of the applied techniques, both the methodology and the algorithms.

Head


book
Dr. Túri László
Prof. Túri's research focuses on the developments of classical and quantum mechanical force fields, the development of mixed quantum-classical molecular dynamics algorithms, and the molecular dynamics investigations of various electron transfer processes. His most active research area is to simulate and rationalize the physical properties of excess electrons in various polar solvents, water, ammonia and methanol. This system also serves as a toy model for the more general research directions of his group, quantum dynamics modeling of ground and excited states and chemical reactivity.

book
Dr. Baranyai András
Prof. Baranyai's research revolves around computer simulations of condensed phases; order-disorder problems in condensed phases; equilibrium and nonequilibrium thermodynamics; transport properties of liquids; classical aspects of chaos and irreversibility; ice and water. Most recently he developed a new water model, BK3. He carries out demanding calculations for several anomalous properties of water using this model and also develops numerical technology for the simulations.
