(DY) CHEMISTRY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY

Central focus of the research of this group includes graph theory (with emphasis on extremal graph theory), complex networks (with emphasis on multiplexes, curriculum networks and network descriptors), mathematical chemistry (with emphasis on molecular descriptors, nanotechnology, peptide antibiotics), and discrete mathematics in general. Our goal is to obtain purely mathematical results and multidisciplinary applications.

One of the biggest challenges of today mankind is the incidence of a bacterial antibiotic resistance, which is continually growing. The antibiotic resistance is posing a global threat not only for the health system, but also in the process of food production and safety. Therefore, in our laboratory we aim to design and synthesize the heterocyclic compounds, with a special interest in quaternary ammonium salts which display a wide biological potential and biomedical application (antidotes, acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, surfactants, therapeutics etc.).
