Surprisingly perhaps, chemists are some of the biggest users of computers.
Molecules are fascinating objects.
An obvious feature, and one of the many beautiful things about the subject is that molecules are three-dimensional structures. Very often it is hard to visualise the structure, and hence the function, of a particular molecule from its chemical formula. Chemists make use of powerful computer visualisation tools in order to understand how molecules interact. The School of Chemistry at the University of Leeds is in the forefront of developments in computer applications to Chemistry. As an undergraduate here, you will have the opportunity to gain experience with some of these new tools in our well equipped computer clusters.
