Welcome to the homepage of the Kerridge research group, based in the Department of Chemistry at Lancaster University, UK. We are part of the Chemical Theory and Computation research section and our main focus is on the quantum mechanical modelling of complexes of the f-elements. Working closely with experimental collaborators in both academia and industry, we study aspects of bonding, energetics and photoinduced excitations, but also have interests in a variety of other fields, including transition metal chemistry, magnetism, spintronics and nanotechnology. On this site you can find information about our group leader, Dr Andy Kerridge, as well as information about our research interests and publications.
