QTCOVI Research Group


We are the Theoretical and Computational Chemistry group at the University of Oviedo, Spain. We develop orbital-invariant methodologies to understand chemical bonding through Quantum Chemical Topology (QCT), with applications ranging from catalysis and excited states to biomolecules and AI-assisted chemistry.

Research Pillars

Quantum Chemical Topology

We use QCT—including QTAIM and IQA—to rigorously partition molecular energies and electron densities, providing physically meaningful descriptors of chemical bonding.

Real-Space Descriptors

Statistics of the electron distribution in real space underpin our bond indices, delocalization measures, and non-covalent interaction descriptors.

Method Development & AI

We develop new topological tools and increasingly combine them with machine learning and neural network potentials to tackle complex chemical systems.
