Developing New Methodologies In Electronic Structure Theory

My research group develops and uses new methods to calculate the electronic structure of both molecular and solid-state systems.  We have two main focuses: tackling the scaling of highly accurate coupled cluster methods by using Monte Carlo sampling, and designing computationally inexpensive methods for multi-reference systems as an alternative to CASSCF. These methods usually involve writing new software and we use a range of programming languages: Fortran, C++ and Python, and exploiting massively parallel compute architectures, as well as GPUs and reprogrammable hardware (FPGAs).
