About

I work with method and software development in molecular electronic structure theory. My interests include

  • Development of reduced space coupled cluster models
  • Spin-adapted models for open shell systems
  • Development of open-source electronic structure software

 

In the quantum chemistry group at NTNU, we develop the eT software program (https://www.etprogram.org)
