FOCUS AREA: Computational Energy Research

Formulating new theories and conducting experiments are not the only pathways to discovery. A third approach is computational research. Within EIRES, the Computational Energy Research (CER) focus area is centered around using advanced computational methods and artificial intelligence to find and optimize materials and processes for energy applications.

‘Through computational research, we are accelerating the discovery of materials and molecules for energy applications,’ say focus area leaders Süleyman Er, department head of Chemical Energy at DIFFER, and Peter Bobbert from TU/e’s Department of Applied Physics and Science Education.
