Scope: Simulations of Molecule Formation on Interstellar Grain Surfaces

Objectives: to simulate by means of computational chemistry and molecular modelling methods processes occurring on the surfaces of interstellar grains, in particular those that lead to the formation of astrochemcially-relevant molecules.

We are hiring! One posdoc position is available

Objectives: to simulate by means of computational chemistry and molecular modelling processes occurring on the surfaces of cometary and meteoritic grains, specifically those that lead to the formation of biomolecules identified in these asteroidal bodies, i.e., amino acids, sugars and nucleobases.

First meeting

We have held the first official meeting of QuantumGrain with all the members. We have put together our lines of research to add efforts and synergies.

We tell you what are the initial purpose of our doctoral theses:

We are launching!

At the end of 2019 the European Research Council awarded a Consolidator Grant to Albert Rimola. Finally, the team that will work on this project is already complete.

Albert Rimola is the Principal Investigator of QUANTUMGRAIN.
