Welcome to the ANGSTROM group. The Ab initio Nanoscience Group
for Simulation and Theoretical Research On Materials
is located in the Chemistry Department of the University of California, Davis and
it is headed by Prof. Giulia Galli. We develop and
use theoretical and computational tools to understand and predict the properties
and behavior of materials (solids, liquids and nanostructures) at the microscopic scale.
News and Highlights
First workshop
of the "Physics and Chemistry of Deep Carbon" directorate of the
DCO
was held at the alumni center of the University of California, Davis on March 29-31, 2012.
