Fujian ProvincialKey Laboratory ofTheoretical and Computational Chemistry(XiamenUniversity)

(FTCC)

• FTCC was authorized by Department of Science & Tecgnology of Fujian Province in September, 2010,on the basis of the Center for Theoretical Chemistry of Xiamen University founded in 2002. FTCC has 21 faculty now,including 17 professors and 6 associate professors. Among them, thereis 1 academicianofCAS, 1 Distinguished ProfessorofCheung Kong Scholar, 4 winners of the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars. Besides, there are 6 technicians andadministrativestaff, as well as about 80 doctors/masters.

• Research interests of FTCC are the basic theory and application research of theoretical and computational chemistry, as well as the comprehensive research at the intersection of chemistry with other fields, such as physics, biology, materials science and energy science. Concretely speaking, the lab will focus on the following contents: theory and method of electronic structure, quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics (QM/MM) approach, theoretical research of solid and related nanomaterial system, theory of quantum dynamics on chemical reaction of complex system and computational simulation of physical and chemical processes of life system.

• FTCC will implement the principle of “open, flow, joint, competition” and the management measures of Fujian provincial key laboratory construction and operation carefully. We will do our best to promote the construction and development of the lab by keeping with the interdisciplinary nature of modern research. Members of FTCC are carrying out research in multiple areas and collaborating with colleagues of different universities and research institutes. The goals of FTCC are enhancing the innovation ability, strengthening the cohesion of research personnel and cultivating the academic leaders.
