Tomasz SEIDLER

Tomasz SEIDLER is an active researcher at the University of Namur specializing in quantum chemistry and nonlinear optical materials. He serves as Principal Investigator on multiple research projects focused on molecular crystal design and computational modeling of optical properties.

His research interests center on Nonlinear Optical Materials, Quantum Chemistry, and Molecular Crystals, with particular expertise in field theory applications to complex molecular systems. His work investigates how molecular structure affects optical properties, especially in open-shell systems and organic crystals where subtle modifications (like fluorine substitution) dramatically alter electric susceptibility.

Analysis of his publication trends reveals a consistent focus on computational approaches to nonlinear optics, with increasing emphasis on framework materials and radical systems. His research bridges theoretical chemistry with practical materials design, particularly for optical applications requiring precise control of molecular arrangements.

SEIDLER has led four major research projects between 2008-2021, including:

• Cristaux liquides pour l'optique non-linéaire (2015-2017)
• Quantum chemical design of open-shell nonlinear optical materials (2014-2021)
• Quantum chemical design of open-shell nonlinear optical materials (2014-2015)
• Elaboration of quantum chemistry procedures (2008-2017)

These projects demonstrate sustained funding and collaborative work with international partners in Belgium, Japan, and other European institutions.

His research group focuses on computational modeling of molecular crystals, particularly examining how intermolecular interactions affect optical properties. The team develops quantum chemical methods to predict and interpret structure-property relationships in organic materials, with applications in nonlinear optical device design.
