Welcome and thank you for visiting our group page. The Mechanism and Modelling Group (MMG) is a computational chemistry research group based in the School of Chemistry at the University of New South Wales, Sydney.

Our research focuses on the development and application of computational methods to predict molecular properties, chemical reaction mechanisms and understand structure-activity relationships. This insight is crucial for the rational design of improved chemical reagents, materials and drug molecules.

Please get in touch if you like to find out more about our research or for potential research opportunities.
