The Ab initio Nanoscience Group for Simulation and
Theoretical Research on Materials is located within
the Chemistry Department at the University of
California Davis and headed by Prof. Giulia Galli. We develop
and use quantum mechanical simulation tools to understand and
predict the properties and behavior of materials (solids,
liquids and nanostructures) at the microscopic scale.
