About

We are a research group in the domain of computational materials physics and theoretical quantum chemistry. Our work focuses on making accurate many-electron correlation methods computationally affordable for materials and large molecular complexes. We mainly work on plane-wave based approaches, coupled cluster methods, and embedding techniques.

The drive behind our work is practical: we want to create software tools and workflows that researches actually use. We apply our tools to study complex materials such as heterogeneous catalysts or solid electrolytes, compute high-accuracy reference databases to benchmark cheaper models, and spend a lot of our time developing and maintaining software for the broader quantum chemistry and materials physics communities.
