Henrik Koch
Background and activities
Henrik Koch (1964) is a professor in theoretical chemistry. He obtained his MSc and PhD degrees from Aarhus University in Denmark, both under the supervision of Prof. Emeritus Poul Jørgensen.
Research interests
His research activities focus on development and application of accurate electronic structure methods for molecules in general, and molecules strongly coupled to optical and plasmonic cavities, in particular. The group's software platform is eT (an electronic structure program). It is freely available at etprogram.org, where several research projects are showcased.
