Center for Molecular Modeling

Who are we? The CMM is an interfaculty research center with researchers belonging to the faculties of Engineering and Architecture and Sciences of Ghent University. Our general research ambition is to model molecules, materials, and processes on the nanoscale with important technological applications. Our research is situated at the cross-roads of physics, chemistry and (bio)engineering. This synergistic research vision was from the start of the center the DNA of the CMM and remains the key point to pursue scientific excellence. What do we do? By applying the most advanced molecular modeling tools, we have the ambition to contribute to important technological solutions for societal problems related to clean energy conversions, sustainable chemistry, processes based on bio feedstocks, etc. Our research is performed within the framework of a very strong national and international network, and we have various collaborations with industrial stakeholders.
