ÌÇÐÄTV

Livia Bartók-Pártay is a theoretical chemist, using a range of computer simulation tools to model atomistic and molecular system, studying their structural and thermodynamic behaviour on the atomistic level. She is interested in developing novel computational techniques for studying phase transitions and predicting stable crystalline structures, both in clusters and in condensed phases, using classical interatomic potential models. She also works on modelling systems of nanochemical interest: surfaces and interfaces, adsorption phenomena and aggregation behaviour, focusing on characterising surface particles at the liquid/vapour interface in molecular dynamics simulations.
