The Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science and Technology, Thammasat University, warmly invites students, staff, and guests to a special research seminar:

“Deuterium Chemistry with Our New Quantum Chemistry”

Speaker:
Professor Masanori Tachikawa
Graduate School of NanoBioScience, Yokohama City University, Japan
(Recipient of the Outstanding Achievement Award for HPCI Research Projects, 2022)

Date: 29 October 2025
Time: 11:00–12:00
Venue: Room S102, LC5 Building, Faculty of Science and Technology, Thammasat University

Prof. Tachikawa will discuss how next-generation quantum chemistry approaches can be used to understand and design deuterium-containing molecules with unique properties and potential applications in materials and drug discovery.

All are welcome.
