Research Overview

We develop theoretical methods and computer programs for studying the electronic structure, physical properties, and chemical reactions of molecules and solids. The focus of our activities is on density-functional methods and their relation to wavefunction techniques. We also use electronic structure methods to solve practical problems of chemistry, spectroscopy, and materials science.

Graduate Student Positions

I am accepting graduate students for start in 2026 or later. Candidates with interest in electronic structure theory and mathematical aspects of quantum chemistry are especially encouraged to apply. All students admitted to our graduate program receive full financial support. To apply, view our website for future graduate students and follow the instructions provided there. Admission decisions are made by the School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies after the formal application is submitted. Note: Prospective students whose background aligns with these research areas are welcome to indicate their interest by email before applying. Please note that I may not be able to respond to inquiries that do not clearly relate to my group’s research or that request pre-assessment outside the formal application process.
