Molecular Design and Computational Simulation
Welcome to the research web page of Professor Tom Woo, at the department of Chemistry, 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 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 molecular simulation techniques to model chemical systems at the atomic and electronic level. Since our simulation techniques push the limits of current computing technologies, our group is also heavily involved in high performance technical computing and we run our own 500+ CPU computing cluster. The group is also part of the University of Ottawa’s world class Centre for Catalysis Research and Innovation (CCRI).
