In my research I carry out DFT-based computer simulations of 2D, 1D and 0D heterostructures for application in photocatalytic water splitting. This means that I am integrating the laws of quantum mechanics in manageable idealized material systems. My mathematical outcomes represent clean starting points for chemists, from which they can try imagining what might be happening in reality at the atomic scale, and that's a really complicated place! It is precisely this type of perspective which is to be considered when steering chemical research wisely.
