Quantum Theory Project
Quantum Theory Project is the world's largest research center for
theory, modelling, and computation of complex, novel molecular and
materials systems. We focus on the subtle, profound interplay of
chemical, physical, and biological realism, develop quantum mechanical
methods, and implement them in innovative software. Founded in 1960
by Prof. Per-Olov Lowdin, we operate the world-renowned Sanibel
Symposia. QTP is the home editorial office of International Journal of
Quantum Chemistry and an editorial office of the Journal of Physical
Chemistry and of Computer Physics Communications. Our current
co-directors are Erik Deumens and Kennie Merz. We are an institute of
the Depts. of Physics and Chemistry of the University of Florida.

PROFESSOR MERZ WINS THE ACS AWARD FOR COMPUTERS IN CHEMICAL & PHARMACEUTICAL RESEARCH
Professor kenneth Merz has been selected as the recipient of the 2010 ACS Award for Computers in Chemical & Pharmaceutical Research that recognizes the advances he has made in the use of quantum mechanics to solve biological and drug discovery problems. This highly prestigious international award sponsored by ACS is given to an individual "without regard to age or nationality for outstanding achievement in the use of computers in research, development, or education in the chemical and biological sciences".
The past recipients of this award include nine National Academy members and one Nobel Laureate.
Professor Merz is Colonel Allan R. and Margaret G. Crow Term Professor and also Director of Quantum Theory Project. Prior to this award, Professor Merz was selected as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, a John Simon Guggenheim Fellow, Office of Naval Research Young Investigator, and the recipient of the National Institute of Health FIRST Award. He also serves in government agency panels and editorial boards of a number of scientific journals.
