Important Contributions:

• Explicitly correlated electronic structure theory: practical framework for numerical approximation of many‐electron integrals (Complementary Auxiliary Basis Set, or CABS); perturbative formalism for inclusion of explicitly correlated terms into coupled‐cluster methods and into arbitrary (multiconfiguration) correlated models; introduction of energy‐dependent explicitly‐correlated corrections for general self‐energy models of propagator methods; first numerical (real‐space) explicitly‐correlated 2‐body (6‐d) models of many‐electron systems
• Reduced‐scaling electronic structure methods: SparseMaps formalism for encoding and utilizing block‐sparse structure of Hamiltonian and wave operator tensors for reduced‐complexity correlated methods; near‐linear‐scaling explicitly‐correlated pair‐natural‐orbital coupled‐cluster methods for closed‐ and open‐shell systems; numerical (real‐space) solver for nearly exact pair‐natural orbitals
• Miscellaneous developments in electronic structure theory: numerical (real‐space) solver for nearly‐exact optimal orbitals for correlated methods; numerous developments of reusable open‐source software packages, especially for AO integral evaluation and parallel data‐sparse tensor algebra
