Christine is PI on a DOE proposal to collaborate with Tom Markland at Stanford and Aurora Clark at Washington State University on the "Development of Approaches to Model Excited State Charge and...

We'll be studying the electro-optic properties of chromophores, taking into account multi-chromophore interactions.

Joel got his QM/MM skills whipped into shape at the 2015 Berkeley Summer QM/MM Bootcamp.

Christine is once again co-organizing a Telluride week-long workshop on modeling excited states. These small (~30 faculty) workshops are a great way to exchange ideas and the latest research. She will...

Makenzie attended the 2015 POGIL Southwest Regional Workshop, where she learned about using the POGIL methodology in the classroom. These POGIL methods will be used in this fall's Chem 112 Quantum...

This was paper expands on our previous work that showed that there were opposite trends in the amount of exact exchange needed for Koopmans' ionization potential and accurate excitation energies. Here...
