Seminarium "Modeling of Complex Systems"

In chemistry, almost everything of interest is complex, despite the very vague definition of this word. I will show how different aspects of such complexity are tackled at the Chemical and Biological Systems Simulation Laboratory of the Centre of New Technologies, University of Warsaw, by using or developing computational methods to study such diverse systems as homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts, sensors, molecular cages and molecules, that have no practical use (yet), but are simply beautiful [1-4].
