Group Picture

Nanostructured materials for technological applications

Group Leader: Prof. Sofía Calero

The Group is settled in the Physical Chemistry Division of the Department of Physical, Chemical, and Natural Systems of the University Pablo de Olavide.

Our research interests focus on the study and the design of multifunctional nanostructured materials and complex molecules. Using molecular simulations we provide sound basis for the development of new multifunctional materials. We are interested on processes that combined with some kind of control at the molecular level will have far reaching implications, both in basic science and in technological applications.
