CV Summary
+
Andreas Savin is an emeritus researcher at the CNRS (France). He started working in quantum chemistry with
 
+
semi-empirical methods, writing a book on the subject in 1980 (in Romanian, together with S. Moldoveanu). He received his Ph. D. from the University of Stuttgart
 +
(Germany) in 1983 (supervisors Heinzwerner Preuss and
 +
Hermann Stoll), with a work on pseudopotentials and density
 +
-functional theory, a field he remained faithful to for
 +
the rest of his career. He continued with positions at the University of Stuttgart, receiving his habilitation in 1989,
 +
showing how it is possible to couple density functional theory with many-body wavefunction calculations using natural orbitals.
 +
He then concentrated on the interpretation of the chemical bond as a bridge between experimental
 +
and computational chemistry (mainly using the electron localization function).In 1993 he moved to Paris,taking up
 +
a CNRS position allowing much freedom in research. He returned to investigating methods for using density
 +
functionals with any type of wave function, and proposed this time to use range-separation. His research interests
 +
continue to include fundamental problems and aspects of density functional theory and the interpretation of the
 +
chemical bond (now using maximum probability domains). Most recently his research interests have extended to
 +
other fields, such as ensuring a scientific content when dealing with large amounts of data.

CV Summary


Cyrus Umrigar

Cornell Univ. http://pages.physics.cornell.edu/~cyrus/

Umrigar’s research is in the area of accurate electronic structure algorithms for correlated electronic systems.The main focus is on developing quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods to make them more accurate and more efficient. He is particularly known for developing highly efficient algorithms for optimizing many-body wave functions for use in diffusion Monte Carlo calculations and for shedding light on the exact exchange- correlation potential, which plays a central role in density functional theory. Recently, he has developed the semistochastic quantum Monte Carlo method that combines some of the advantages of exact diagonalization and other quantum Monte Carlo methods. Applications that he has worked on include energetics of molecules, defects in solids, phase transitions in solids, excited states, localization in quantum dots and wires and the zigzag phase transition in quantum wires.
