Research

Ab-initio based theoretical computational approaches provide the reliable tools for prediction of equilibrium properties and behavior of materials on the atomistic level. The results of calculations are used for first principle parameterization of free energy, Monte-Carlo and Molecular Dynamic simulations and development of the appropriate thermodynamic and kinetic models.
