Fernanda Duarte Gonzalez

Fernanda Duarte Gonzalez is an Associate Professor of Computational Organic Chemistry at the University of Oxford, Department of Chemistry. Her research interests include Computational Chemistry, Reaction Mechanisms, Biomimetic Catalysts, Physical Organic Chemistry, and Enzyme Catalysis. She employs techniques such as ab initio (QM) approaches, Density Functional Theory (DFT), Molecular Dynamics (MD), and Machine Learning. Her group focuses on developing computational methodologies to elucidate complex (bio)chemical mechanisms and guide the design of novel catalysts and synthetic approaches. She has published extensively in these areas and is affiliated with the Department of Chemistry at the University of Oxford.
