Project-Team Presentation

Joint project-team with ENPC (CERMICS).

The MICMAC project-team aims to develop efficient and rigourously founded numerical methods for the simulations at microscopic scale (molecular quantum chemistry, molecular dynamics, atomistics) and its coupling with the macro scales (micro/macro strategies for complex materials and fluids with microstructure). The aspects concerning the control of this systems are also considered, especially the laser control of molecular motion.
