Author of:

More than 260 scientific articles; one of the leading contributors to the Q-Chem software.

Important Contributions:

  • introduced new approaches to non-dynamical correlation such as spin-flip method
  • extended coupled-cluster equation-of-motion methodology to metastable electronic states (resonances)
  • developed tools for interfacing electronic structure with experimental observables (spectroscopy modeling, Dyson orbitals, state and transition properties, non-linear optical properties)
  • developed algorithms for reduced-cost many-body methods
  • elucidated mechanisms of excited-state processes in bioimaging (fluorescent proteins), solar energy (singlet fission), and combustion applications.
  • developed efficient C++ tensor library for many-body methods
