Supervisory Team: J.W. Essex and J.G. FreyPhD Supervisor: Jon EssexProject description:The search for drug molecules is risky and expensive. Having identified a high quality and tractable chemical starting point (a hit), further optimisation takes place by modifying the functional groups attached to a central, rigid-ring scaffold. This central scaffold is...

Supervisory Team: Chris-Kriton Skylaris (80%) Jeremy Frey (20%)Project description:Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations are typically limited to tens of atoms due to the steep increase of the computational effort with the number of atoms. Recent developments have led to "linear-scaling" reformulations of DFT which allow calculations with thousands of...
