Lowdin Lecturer Once every year, QTP invites a scholar in theoretical chemistry or biochemistry to visit UF and QTP for several days to lecture meet with graduate students, postdocs and faculty in honor of Professor Per-Olov Lowdin. Lowdin started the Quantum Theory Project in 1960 with one of the main goals to bring theoretical chemists and materials physicists together and to teach them a common language and to build shared computational tools. Lowdin was the directpr of QTP for many years and an inspiration and teacher for QTP until his death in 2000. The Lowdin Lecturer typically gives a QTP seminar and a Chemistry Departmental Colloquium. List of Lowdin Lecturers:
Once every year, QTP invites a scholar in theoretical materials physics or atomic and molecular physics to visit UF and QTP for several days to lecture meet with graduate students, postdocs and faculty in honor of Professor John C. Slater. Slater joined the Quantum Theory Project in 1964 after being Professor and Chair of Phycics at MIT. Until his death in 1976 he was a strong influence on the activities and evolution of QTP. The Slater Lecturer typically gives a QTP seminar and a Physics Departmental Colloquium. List of Slater Lecturers:
