Daniel King successfully defended his PhD thesis titled “Developments and Applications of Automated Multiconfigurational Quantum Chemistry.” In August, he will embark on a postdoctoral journey at the Bakar Institute of Digital Materials for the Planet at UC Berkeley. While we will miss Daniel, we eagerly anticipate his future successes.

Abhishek Mitra receives the IBM-Zerner Graduate Student Award from Professor Richard G. Hennig at the 63rd Sanibel Symposium for his poster presentation, Towards Practical Quantum Chemistry on Quantum Computers using Localized Active Spaces. Congratulations, Abhishek!
The Gagliardi Group congratulates Joanna Wang for successfully passing her candidacy exam! Joanna’s work focuses on “Unraveling chemical processes through hybrid quantum-classical algorithms with localized wave functions.” Her primary research interests are developing hybrid algorithms for multireference theory and studying chemical reactions with multireference methods. We eagerly anticipate her continued success and contributions to the field. Well done, Joanna!
The Gagliardi Research Group welcomes Ruijie (Ray) Zhu to the team.
The Gagliardi Group welcomes, Romit Chakraborty, new Staff Researcher in Quantum AI, to the group.

During the retreat, the group engaged in fruitful discussions about science and participated in collaborative brainstorming.
The Gagliardi Group congratulates Bhavnesh Jangid and Jacob Wardzala on their achievement in passing their candidacy exams! Bhavnesh’s work focuses on the “Development of quantum embedding based methods for efficient and accurate prediction of the core-level spectroscopy” and Jacob’s focuses on “Automated active space selection for systematic multireference calculations in reactivity”. The Gagliardi group wishes you both continued success as you progress in your academic endeavors.
