충북대학교 화학과 양자화학연구실에서는 양자화학 전자구조 방법론을 개발하고, 이를 중심으로 한 컴퓨터화학을 통해서 금속효소 등의 생화학적 시스템에서의 반응 기작을 이론적으로 밝혀내고, 이러한 이해로부터 새로운 효소 / 촉매를 디자인하는 연구를 하고자 합니다.
컴퓨터를 이용한 화학/생물계의 연구에 관심있는 학부생이나 대학원 지망생들을 상시 모집 중입니다: 박재우 교수에게 연락 주시기 바랍니다. (연락처 바로가기) 감사합니다!
We uncover new things (Nova Aperio). We develop quantum chemical electronic structure methods. We reveal reaction mechanisms in chemical systems (e.g., metalloenzymes) using computational methods. In particular, we use quantum chemical methodologies and statistical mechanical methods. We aim to design novel catalysts and enzymes using insights from naturally occurring systems.
If you are interested by any chance, please do not hesitate to contact Jae Woo Park. Thank you!
