The research group MOSAIC of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Antwerp focusses on computational astrochemistry and the chemistry of nanomaterials. We employ a wide toolkit of computational techniques, including classical molecular dynamics simulations, density functional theory calculations and enhanced sampling techniques. Of particular interest are chemical reactions taking place on the surface of icy dust particles in the interstellar medium and on the surface of nanomaterials.
