Graduated in Chemistry in 1998; PhD degree in Chemistry from Florida State University in 2002. A post-doctoral researcher at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, 2004-2007. Full Professor in Physics at Lodz University of Technology.
Recipient of the medal of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science (IAQMS) in 2015. Topic editor in The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters (ACS); editorial board member of Scientific Reports; editorial advisory board member of Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation (ACS) and International Journal of Quantum Chemistry (Wiley).
Main research interests: development of electronic structure methods based on electron density and reduced density matrices for molecules; investigation of spin-states of strongly correlated molecular systems, molecular interactions in out-of-equilibrium and electronically excited complexes.
Invited talk title: An accurate and efficient adiabatic connection method with Cholesky decomposition for dynamic correlation energy of strongly correlated systems. Abstract available here.
