Objectives of Research Centre: Our objective is to advance and disseminate knowledge in the area of theoretical/computational chemistry and physics, and to maintain high international standards in this research field only matched by top research institutes world-wide. All objectives are clearly met, as we are one of the most productive and internationally acclaimed research centres here in New Zealand, with truly outstanding performances by each of our staff members. Our research centre has not been without a Marsden grant running since it was established (a new grant was awarded in 2016 to Joachim Brand), four staff are actively involved in the Dodd-Walls CoRE, four others were successful in a funding bid to the Norwegian Centre for Advanced Study (CAS) to perform research in the field of Chemistry at Extreme Conditions.
