UCLA has one of the strongest theoretical chemistry groups in the country. Six full-time theoreticians, four in physical chemistry, one in organic chemistry, and one in biochemistry work on an incredibly diverse set of problems, including reactions at surfaces, materials interface adhesion and degradation, novel architectures of organic and electronic materials, and the physical behavior of complex fluids.

In addition to these areas of application, theorists at UCLA are developing many mew techniques, including novel signal processing algorithms, new ab initio electron correlation methods, ab initio simulations of kinetics and dynamics, and a diverse set of approaches for describing complex systems across many length and time scales.
