We use computational approaches towards enabling functional molecular material discovery. Specifically, we investigate predicting these materials’ assembly as individual units and how this then affects self-assembly and properties. We aim to apply this to large scale computational screening of precursor libraries, creating databases of viable, functional materials. Our strong ongoing links with synthetic collaborators allow synthetic realisation of the predictions. We focus on porous molecular materials, organic electronics and membrane materials. We are currently funded by the Royal Society, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), the Leverhulme Trust and the European Research Council (ERC), as well as industry.
