Nominator's project description
| Professor Scuseria is a towering figure in the development, implementation, and application of computational quantum chemistry tools to practical problems. He has made pivotal contributions in the areas of coupled-cluster and density-functional theories (DFT), and more. The so-called HSE (Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof) functional for treating electronic exchange and correlation in DFT will soon be the most popular functional in computational condensed-matter theory. In Berlin, he will continue to work on methods that go beyond density-functional theory. |
