Nominator's project description

Professor Mukherjee has played a unique and very successful role in the development of many body methods in quantum chemistry and physics during the last decades. He has made important contributions in multi-reference coupled cluster theories to handle quasi-degeneracy of electronic states which have attracted wide international recognition. During his stay in Germany he intends to investigate the beneficial use of cumulants of the reduced density matrices of a many electron state in multireference many body methods, and further develop successful Green Function methods for open-shell systems. Professor Mukherjee is hosted by ProfessorKutzelnigg at the University of Bochum and by Professor Cederbaum at the University of Heidelberg
