The Mata group focuses on the development and application of electronic structure based methods for the description of non-covalent interactions and reactivity in chemical systems. The project will deal with the application of state-of-the-art local correlation methods for the study of proton dynamics, with potential applications to spectroscopy, solvation effects and the modelling of reaction pathways both in the gas and condensed phase.

The BENCh Research Training Group (BENCh RTG) consists of a high-level research programme aiming to provide landmark experiments for quantum chemical methods benchmarking. The students under the program will benefit from a wide variety of lab techniques in order to conceive and execute challenging experiments.
