The
10th Asia-Pacific Conference of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry
(APCTCC-10) was held on February 19-23, 2023 in Binh Dinh, Vietnam.
More than 350 experts, scholars, professors, and students from 24
countries and regions attended the conference. Wu Yun-Dong, Academician
of China Academy of Sciences and Vice Executive Director of Shenzhen Bay
Laboratory, attended and delivered the opening speech. He expressed his
gratitude to the organizers for their hardworking efforts, hoping that
the participants could conduct in-depth exchanges and fruitful
cooperation for new scientific breakthroughs.
The conference
focused on computing technology-based fundamental researches, involving
molecular science, biomedicine simulation, and other fields. The special
reports made by the scientists mainly focused on the evolution of
quantum computing history – model theory – computing methods,
elaborating the quantum chemistry computing methods of gaseous phase,
liquid phase, and solid phase, artificial intelligence and machine
learning in quantum chemistry computing and biomedicine simulations,
material science – catalytic materials, and renewable energy sources.
The Asia-Pacific
Association of Theoretical and Computational Chemists (APATCC) is the
international academic organization representing the theoretical and
computational chemists in Asia-Pacific. In APATCC-9 held in 2019,
Academician Wu Yundong was elected chairman for the new term of the
association. Held by the APATCC every two or three years, the APCTCC
acts as an important event for the theoretical and computational
chemists in Asia-Pacific to exchange their latest research findings,
commend and award the distinguished scholars. The conference attracts
the extensive involvement of those from governments, industries, and
academic circles as well.
