The Group
The Fantuzzi Group brings together researchers and students working across theoretical and computational chemistry, from fundamental chemical bonding and astrochemistry to the design of functional molecular systems. Our group is highly collaborative and internationally connected, combining different backgrounds, career stages and scientific perspectives.

Research Environment
The Fantuzzi Group is embedded within interdisciplinary research structures at the University of Kent, connecting theoretical and computational chemistry with synthetic chemistry, astrochemistry, irradiation science and molecular physics.


Supramolecular, Interfacial and Synthetic Chemistry (SISC)
Brings together research across supramolecular, interfacial and synthetic chemistry, fostering collaboration between molecular design, synthesis, characterisation and theory. Learn more
Kent Astrochemistry, Irradiation, Origins and Space (KAIROS)
Connects astrochemistry, irradiation science, molecular physics and origins-of-life research to explore the formation, evolution and transformation of matter in space and extreme environments. Learn more
International Research Affiliations
Through visiting appointments and long-term collaborations, the group is connected to research environments in Germany, Hungary and Colombia.
