The TYC is looking forward to welcoming new PhD students to our centre, from across the four London colleges.  It is a brilliant opportunity to meet your peers (virtually), and to hear about the fantastic benefits of being affiliated to this active and exciting institute.  We will hear from our Interest Group Leaders about the […]

The Thomas Young Centre (TYC) is a dynamic and interdisciplinary alliance of London researchers operating at the forefront of science to address the challenges of society and industry through the theory and simulation of materials and molecules, or materials and molecular modelling. The TYC is made up of around 100 research groups from four London […]

A description of the electronic excitations in materials and molecules is central to understanding the key optical, transport and reactive properties. While density functional theory often describes ground state energetics to reasonable accuracy, it will often more qualitatively fail in its description of these excitations, and therefore methodological development which can go beyond DFT is […]
