Subject: 12.12.13 WEBINAR: Studying Excited States and Open-Shell Species with EOM-CC Methods, Anna Krylov, 3PM EST, Dec 13, 2012
Title: Studying Excited States and Open-Shell Species with Q-Chem: A Friendly Guide to EOM-CC Methods Presenter: Prof. Anna Krylov When: 3:00 pm EST on Thursday, December 13, 2012 Duration: 1 hour Registration: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/3299121269705675264 Summary: QChem features a large set of methods targeting electronically excited and open-shell species. This webinar will focus on equation-of-motion coupled-cluster (EOM-CC) family of methods. EOM-CC is a robust single-reference methodology capable of describing complex multi-configurational wave-functions encountered in excited states, diradicals, triradicals, bond-breaking, and charge-transfer systems. The presentation will begin with a general overview of EOM-CC formalism, illustrate its capabilities by examples, and then focus on practical aspects of performing EOM-CC calculations with Q-Chem. Suggested preliminary reading: "Equation-of-motion coupled-cluster methods for open-shell and electronically excited species: The hitchhiker's guide to Fock space", Ann. Rev. Phys. Chem. 59, 433 (2008). Presenter: Dr. Anna Krylov (http://www-rcf.usc.edu/~krylov/AIK/anna_krylov.html) is a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Southern California and a board member of Q-Chem, Inc. Her research group focuses on theoretical modeling of open shell and electronically excited species, and she is especially known for her invention of spin-flip methods. She has been recognized with many awards, such as the 2007 Dirac award from the World Association of Theoretical and Computational Chemists, the 2011 F.W. Bessel Research Award from the Humboldt Foundation, her election to the Fellows of the American Physical Society in 2011, and the 2012 Theoretical Chemistry Award from the Physical Chemistry Division of the American Chemical Society. In late November, she delivered the 2011 Lowdin Lectures in Sweden.NOTE THAT E-MAIL ADDRESSES HAVE BEEN MODIFIED!!!
