Mickael Delcey is a researcher at the Departments of Chemistry of the University of Lund, Sweden. He received his PhD from Uppsala University in 2015, under the supervision of Roland Lindh where he developed CASSCF gradients and non-adiabatic couplings using the Cholesky Decomposition and worked on the application of multiconfigurational methods to X-ray spectroscopy.
He then joined the group of Martin Head-Gordon in Berkeley before going back to Uppsala with Marcus Lundberg, where he continued a mix of method developments and applications for X-ray spectroscopy.
In 2021, he started his own independent group in KTH, Royal Institute of Stockholm and now since this January in Lund University. The main efforts of his group are directed toward developing multiconfigurational methods, especially for spectroscopy and photochemistry. He is the main developer of MultiPsi, a massively parallel multiconfigurational program.
