Electronic Structure at Cambridge

The University of Cambridge is an exceptional centre of attraction for electronic structure and first principles calculations of condensed and gaseous matter, both for methodological development and for application to extremely varied fields. Its high concentration of electronic structure practitioners, spanning five departments, is internationally unique, offering a wide range of opportunities.

Information about different electronic-structure groups (or groups that contain an electronic-structure component) can be found in the following:

• Theory of Condensed Matter in Physics
• Computational Chemistry in Chemistry
• Atomistic Simulation Group in Materials Science
• First-principles simulations in Earth Sciences
• Electronic Devices & Materials in Engineering

Across departments activities are vertebrated around Discussion Groups:

• Electronic Structure Discussion Group
• Atomistic Biological Physics Discussion Group
