The CCTCh Seminar Series recently welcomed Professor Donald Truhlar from the University of Minnesota, who delivered an enlightening presentation on “Multiconfiguration Nonclassical-Energy Density Functional Theory” (MC-NEFT). The seminar drew enthusiastic participation from students and faculty alike, eager to learn from one of the leading figures in theoretical chemistry.
In addition to the seminar, Professor Truhlar spent time with the Gagliardi Group, whose research focuses on electronic structure and multiconfigurational methods. This meeting provided a unique opportunity for students to engage with Professor Truhlar on a personal level, exchanging ideas and discussing challenges in their own research.
