Important Contributions:

• Multireference wave function theory and its efficient computational implementations based on density matrix renormalization group theory and associated dynamic electron correlation methods for studying complex molecular electronic structures.
• Density functional theory with Coulomb-attenuated hybrid functional: CAM-B3LYP.
• Numerical solver of density functional theory using multi-resolution analysis with wavelet bases.
• Fully relativistic electronic structure theory and its program system UTChem using Gauss type spinor basis with efficient integral algorithm.
