Happy New Year to all our students

This last year has been very different for all of us, we hope you are staying safe and healthy during this challenging time!

  • Keep your distance
  • Wash your hands
  • Wear a face covering
  • Got symptoms? Get a test
  • Contacted by track and trace? Stay at home

Welcome to our new cohort of MSc students starting in October

 

 
 

Due to the current situation we regret to announce the cancellation of UKTC2020, our National Training School in Theoretical Chemistry, which was scheduled to have been held in Oxford in September  2020.

 

 

 

 

Our 2019 TMCS Cohort

 

Our 2018 TMCS Cohort

 

Using Virtual Reality to explain Chemistry

Rhoslyn Roebuck Williams and Izzy Creed from the Theory and Modelling in Chemical Systems (TMCS) Centre for Doctoral Training went to The Royal Society alongside students from Bristol and Southampton to use Virtual Reality (VR) to explain antibiotic resistance to members of the general public on Tuesday 2nd July.

Other students from TMCS (Harry Stroud, Izzy Creed, Jillisa Thompson and Tristan Johnston-Wood) have also used the new VR kit to explain the importance of Theoretical Chemistry to prospective undergraduates at this year's open day.

Lee Steinberg

Congratulations to Lee Steinberg who has been named winner of the I'm a Scientist Get Me Out Of Here competition's Drug Discovery Zone after impressing in a series of fast-paced web chats with aspiring scientists.

 

Young Modelers Forum Conference

November 2018

Congratulations to two of our students Jonathan Shearer and Tim Burd for being two of the prize winners for #yfm2018 Conference.

Well done Jonathan and Tim

 

Congratulations to Fernanda

Professor Fernanda Duarte has been awarded the OpenEye Outstanding Junior Faculty Award in Computational Chemistry from the COMP division of the American Chemical Society.

The ACS COMP OpenEye Outstanding Junior Faculty Award program provides $1,000 to up to four outstanding tenure-track junior faculty members to present their work in COMP division at the Fall 2021 Atlanta ACS National Meeting, where award certificates and prizes will be presented. 

The ACS Computers in Chemistry Division brings together scientists who are interested in artificial intelligence, experimental design, and molecular modelling in the fields of agrochemicals, materials science, medicinal and organic chemistry, pharmaceuticals, polymers and theoretical chemistry.

 

 

 

 

Congratulations to the sixth cohort, who have passed their MSc

Oxford Science and Ideas Festival

October 22, 2018

Four of our students, Darya Shchepanovska, Tom Fay, Callum Bungey and Rocco Meli demonstrated the NanoSim Box VR at the IF festival, held at the Oxford Town Hall on 13th October. The VR was used to explain chemical concepts and how technology can be used to enhance our understanding of chemistry.
