Welcome to our group website

Welcome to the UC Irvine Chemical Electronic Structure Group (iCES). Our research is focused on developing and implementing electronic structure methods (primarily density functional theory) for applications in chemistry and other fields. We develop both the theory (e.g., create new functionals) and algorithms (e.g., implemented in TURBOMOLE) and perform some of the first and fastest quantum chemical calculations in the world. We have collaborators all over the world, such as in Germany, Ireland, the east coast of the US, and Japan, and many experimentalists are among them. We occupy several offices, mostly on the 2nd floor of Natural Sciences 2.
