How I Became passioned about Computational Chemistry

My name is Filipe Micu Menezes and I like to think of myself as a computational chemist.

My career in computational chemistry began with electron-correlation methods. During my PhD thesis I developed and implemented a local multireference perturbation theory method with main applications in spectroscopy.
 

After the PhD I discovered that the world is not composed solely of single molecules in vacuum, and I widened my scope of interest to other types of systems. Ideal gases, real gases, solids and even liquids. With my formation in single molecule quantum mechanics, there was lots of science I had (and still have) to learn in order to access these more complex systems.

 

This blog is like a summary, or if you rather have it, the resulting of my studies in molecular physics to access the properties of more complex systems. 

​

For most theories here presented there will be a respective program that I implemented (unfortunately I do not have programs for everything I describe here). If you are interested in my implementations, just mail with the respective request.

 

Hope to hear from you.
