Welcome to the research web page of Professor Tom Woo, at the Department of Chemistry and Biomolecular Science, the University of Ottawa. We are situated in the beautiful city of Ottawa – Canada’s National Capital. Our principle research interests lie in the fields of computational chemistry, machine learning and their applications to carbon capture and storage, clean energy technologies and catalysis. We are involved in the development and application of state-of-the-art machine learning models and atomistic simulations to model chemical systems. Our group is also heavily involved in advanced scientific computing and we run our own 2000+ CPU core and GPU high performance computing facility.
