SUMMARY

Dr. Daniel Rohr is a Theoretical Chemist and Theoretical Physicist interested in research on electronic structure methods. He is currently a fellow of the German National Academy of Sciences - Leopoldina. He works as a post-doc in the group of Prof. Gustavo Scuseria at Rice University in Houston, TX, USA.

The goal of his research is to improve the description of the most fundamental process in Chemistry - bond making and bond breaking. To this end he utilizes fundamental theories like Density Functional Theory (DFT), Density Matrix Functional Theory (DMFT), and Wave Function Theories (WFT). He develops, improves, implements, tests, and applies methods derived from these theories to capture electron correlation, in particular, static or strong correlation. The methods are implemented in quantum chemistry packages and will be made available to the public.
