Important Contributions:
- Hamiltonians: effective quantum electrodynamics (eQED), quasi-four-component (Q4C), exact two-component (X2C), and sf-X2C+sd-DKHn/BSSn/X2Cn relativistic many-electron Hamiltonians for electronic structure calculations; body-fixed relativistic molecular Hamiltonians for molecular spectroscopies involving nuclear motions.
- Wave functions: Coalescence conditions for explicitly correlated relativistic wave functions; SDSPT2, SDSCI, iCI, iVI, iCISCF and iCAS methods for strongly correlated electrons.
- Properties: relativistic time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT); spin-adapted open-shell TD-DFT; linear scaling TD-DFT; nonadiabatic coupling TD-DFT; relativistic theories of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) shielding and nuclear spin-rotation (NSR) coupling tensors as well as direct relativistic mapping between NSR and NMR (NSR2NMR).
- Principle author of the BDF (Beijing Density Functional) program package.
