Symposia on Physical, Biophysical and Computational Chemistry

Physical Chemistry influences all facets of Chemistry and its connection with other fields of Science for its focus on the basic aspects of all interactions involving atoms and molecules. From the simplest to the most complex systems, such as living systems, both in theoretical as well as in experimental efforts, Physical Chemistry seeks to unveil the fundamental basis for chemical processes and chemical reactions. This session seeks to present different aspects of the current frontiers in Physical Chemistry ranging from the development of Quantum Chemistry methods, theoretical approaches for investigation of biomolecules and biophysical processes as well as their resulting insights and the most recent advances in Spectroscopy including limit extremes such as fast and single molecule techniques. Sessions devoted to studies on Atmospheric Chemistry, and impact on air pollution and climate change, and on Heavy Elements, aiming to report recent studies on these critical materials, are also planned. Finally, the program includes a session devoted to discuss recent advances on both theoretical and experimental aspects of self-assembly and their relevance for controlling advanced materials properties and functions.
