Research areas of interest include:

  • Electronic and geometric structure
  • Transition metals and f-elements
  • Density functional and ab initio theory
  • Relativistic effects 

Summary

Nik Kaltsoyannis Research Image

We use ab initio and density functional quantum chemistry to study the electronic structure and reactivity of molecules drawn from all areas of the periodic table, with particular emphasis on the f block. We have a number of collaborations with experimental groups, most notably at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in the USA, and the Universities of Oxford, Edinburgh, California (Santa Barbara) and Glamorgan.
