Prof. Ivan Kassal

Ivan Kassal is a Professor in the School of Chemistry at the University of Sydney. Ivan is also an Associate Investigator in the Australian Research Council, Center of Excellence in Exciton Science.

Kassal Group

The Kassal Group designs quantum algorithms for simulating quantum processes in chemistry and materials science.

We aim to develop techniques that will allow quantum computers to simulate chemical reactions that cannot be described using any conventional supercomputer and, in doing so, accelerate the computational discovery of new materials, pharmaceuticals, and catalysts.
