AREA OF EXPERTISE
Theory of electronic structure of solids. The primary research area is the development of practical methods to treat the many-body electron system in condensed matter and molecules. Methods include Quantum Monte Carlo simulations for nearly-exact ab initio calculations and density functional methods for prediction of broad ranges of material properties. Examples of applications include prediction of the phase diagram of carbon at high pressure and temperature, simulations of fullerenes and nanotubes, prediction of the metal-insulator transition in hydrogen under pressure and developments in the theory of electric polarization.
