Research interests:

My research efforts focus on the description of strongly correlated systems, such as dissociating bonds or double-bond torsion, through one-body reduced density matrix functional theory (RDMFT), where I work on the development and implementation of new, efficient algorithms to achieve significantly reduced computational scaling and memory requirements. Using these new algorithms, I aim to make RDMFT a viable option for large systems for which popular methods like density functional theory fail to describe the correct physical behavior, while enabling the use of large basis sets for improved accuracy.
