Neudecker Group
Welcome
In the Neudecker (formerly Stauch) group we focus on Theoretical and Computational Chemistry. We develop and apply quantum chemical methods for the calculation of spectroscopic properties of molecules under various external influences (e.g. mechanical force, pressure, temperature). Please refer to the Research page for more details.

In collaboration with the groups of Martin and Teresa Head-Gordon at UC Berkeley we have developed an in-silico NMR laboratory for the calculation of nuclear magnetic shieldings. In our new paper we use the code to calculate NMR observables using different flavors of MP2 and MP3.

Rahel starts working on her PhD thesis in our group. She will work with a haptic device that allows the mechanical manipulation of single molecules at the computer. For this device she will implement mechanochemical and high-pressure simulatoins. We’re looking forward to this exciting collaboration with Prof. Markus Reiher from the ETH Zürich.

The beginning of the year marks the start of not one, but two new eras in our group: Jonas and Alexander start their journeys as PhD students. Furthermore, Siyara continues her research internship in our group. We look forward to a lot of cool science and fun together.

In their new paper, Sourabh, Rahel and Felix show that transition states can be transformed to minima on the PES by applying pressure. We hope to see the first experimental confirmation of this prediction soon.
