THE FORTHCOMING KAPUY LECTURE
is scheduled for the 5th of November, 2026
starting at 3:00 PM in the Richter-room on the 6th floor of the Chemistry Building
at ELTE Eötvös Loránd University,
1117 Budapest, Pázmány Péter sétány 1/A
The lecture will be delivered by
Prof. Leticia González
( University of Vienna, Austria)
titled
Light-Driven Chemistry through Molecular Simulation
Light-driven processes lie at the heart of many chemical phenomena, from molecular photochemistry to energy conversion. Understanding these processes requires connecting electronic structure, nuclear motion, and nonadiabatic transitions across multiple time and length scales. In this talk, I will present how molecular simulation can uncover the mechanisms that govern photoinduced reactivity and excited-state dynamics, while highlighting our efforts to extend these simulations to longer time scales. Selected examples will highlight how computational approaches can not only rationalize experimental observations, but also reveal general principles and guide the design of molecular materials with tailored photochemical properties.
