Theory and Computations

Theory and computations lay the conceptual foundations for understanding and quantitatively predicting observed phenomena. The development and application of computational and analytical approaches at various time and lengthscales allow a fundamental understanding of underlying mechanisms, particle-level interactions, macroscopic material properties and reaction processes. They also guide experimental investigations and offer novel design strategies.
