Nominator's project description

Professor Gagliardi is a leading quantum-chemist. She has made seminal contributions to the development of electronic structure methods and their use for understanding complex chemical systems, in particular in the challenging area of strong correlation. Currently, she is developing improved variants of multi-reference methods that extend their range of applicability to larger and more complex molecules. During her stay in Germany, she will work on multi-metallic transition metal compounds.
