General theoretical update
Carlos Cárdenas
Universidad de Chile http://tayrona.ciencias.uchile.cl
I Graduated in Mechanical Engineering in 2003 and got my Ph. D. in Science in 2007. I am currently an assistant professor in the Department of Physics of the University of Chile. My current research focuses in: i) giving a pseudo-formal framework to concepts in chemistry, such as reactivity and bonding, ii) dynamics of small molecules and clusters and iii) development of tools to navigate the "chemical space".

Peter Gill
Finite Uniform Electron Gases
Austr. Nat. Univ. https://rsc.anu.edu.au/~pgill/
Prof. Gill obtained his PhD at the Australian National University in 1988 and then did a postdoc with Prof John Pople (1998 Nobel Prize for Chemistry). His research group develops new methods to solve the Schrödinger equation for molecules, and then implements those within a software package, Q-Chem, that is used by researchers around the world. He has published 180 papers that have received more than 10,000 citations. He was awarded the 1999 Dirac Medal and the 2011 Schrödinger Medal of the World Association of Theoretical and Computational Chemists (WATOC). In 2017, he will become the President of WATOC.
Miquel Huix-Rotllant
Université Aix-Marseille
Graduate in Chemistry (University of Girona, 2006), Master in Theoretical Chemistry (University Rovira i Virgili, 2008) and PhD in Theoretical Chemistry (University of Grenoble, 2011). After the PhD, I joined as post-doctoral researcher in Aix-Marseille University, CEA-Saclay and Goethe University Frankfurt. Since 2015, I am CNRS researcher at Aix-Marseille University. My research focuses on the treatment of excited states of complex molecular systems, from the development of new electronic structure models based on time-dependent density-functional theory to the application of full quantum wavepacket dynamics to proteins or organic photovoltaic materials.

Associated Professor and Head of the Supercomputing Laboratory UGTO-CONACYT. Departamento de Química de la División de Ciencias Naturales y Exactas, Campus Guanajuato. Universidad de Guanajuato. He is a National Researcher level I. Sistema Nacional de Investigadores-Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología specialized in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry.
Ángel Martín Pendás
Oviedo Univ.
Ángel Martín Pendás was born in Madrid in 1965, getting a bachelor in Chemistry by the University of Oviedo in 1988, and a Ph.D. in theoretical chemistry by the same university in 1992. He is now a full professor of Chemical Physics at the Univ. of Oviedo. His research interests cover the simulation of solids at high pressure and the development of new techniques in quantum chemical topology.

Pedro Salvador
Universitat de Girona
Graduate in Chemistry (July 1997) and PhD in Chemistry (December 2001) from the University of Girona. I am currently Associate Professor (since 09/2006) of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Girona. I also belong to the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC) My research is focused in the field of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry, particularly on the design and implementation of new tools for wave function analysis. During my Ph.D period I worked in the field of intermolecular interactions and methods for basis set superposition error correction. Part of the methodology was incorporated to Gaussian 98revA11 and later revision (Gaussian03 and Gaussian09), of which I am co-author.
