Nominator's project description

Enrico Clementi has been instrumental in the development of computational chemistry. Since the advent of electronic computers, he is a pioneer in the quantum chemical calculation of the electronic structure of molecules, from diatomics to large systems of biological relevance, and in the development and use of Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics programs for the determination of macroscopic chemical properties. His creativity, enthusiasm and dedication has inspired the field over the last 40 years.
