News
of 2007
- Victor Albert, undergraduate student working
with Jack Sabin and Frank Harris received the
"Emerging Scholar Award" from Phi Kappa Phi.
- The 16th Conference on Theoretical and
Computational Chemistry was held Nov 2-4 in Jackson,
MS with 200 attendees. Rod Bartlett was honored
plenary speaker. There were contributions from QTP
graduate students Andrew Taube, Josh MClellan,
Prakash Verma, Tom Hughes, and Tom Watson. Former
QTP members who participated included Steve
Gwaltney, David Magers, and John Watts. It had the
first second generation posters as David
Watts was a co-author of John and Ming-Ju and both
Andrew and Brandodn Magers presented papers with
David.
- Toru Shiozaki (Hirata group) Grid-based
Hartree-Fock and second-order Møller–Plesset
perturbation methods for atoms and polyatomic
molecules is a winner of Best Poster Award
of 3rd Asian Pacific Conference of Theoretical and
Computational Chemistry.
- Christina Crecca received the Chemical Computing
Group Excellence award allowing her to attend the
August 2007 ACS meeting in Boston. The award was created
to stimulate graduate student participation in COMP
division activities. In addition to a monetary prize, our
group received a copy of CCG's MOE (Molecular Operating
Environment) software with a one-year license.
- Jessica Ramirez, a Chemistry Major working with
David Micha, has been awarded a Chemical Physics
Scholarship to do undergraduate research. She is
studying methods of electronic structure for
molecules and will work on applications to surface
bonding and spectra.
- Andrew Leathers, a PhD student with David Micha,
has been awarded an NSF travel stipend
administered by the Computational Materials Center
of the University of Illinois, to participate at
the Paris, France, upcoming workshop on Energy
Flow Dynamics in Biomaterials. Andrew will
present a poster on the calculation of density
matrices for photoexcited many-atom systems.
- Adrian Roitberg was awarded the spring 2006
Howard Hughes Medical Institute
Distinguished Mentor Award. This award includes a
cash award spread over two years that can be used
to cover expenses to advance his research efforts
or as a salary payment.
- It is now possible to donate to the QTP
endowments using the
online service from the University of
Florida Foundation.

- The World Association of Theoretical and
Computational Chemists (WATOC) has awarded the
2008 Schrodinger Medal to Rod Bartlett. This is
the WATOC prize for an outstanding senior
theoretical/computational chemist. The selection
is the result of a secret ballot of the entire
WATOC Board and is highly competitive.
It is intended that the WATOC Medals for 2006,
2007 and 2008 will all be presented at the WATOC
2008 World Congress to be held in Sydney,
Australia from September 9-14, 2008.

lecture entitled, "Coupled-cluster theory in
quantum chemistry: The emergence of a new
paradigm, " was presented on March
28. Attending the Awards banquet were Andrew
Taube, Josh McClellan, Tom Hughes, and Ajith
Perera, members of Prof. Bartlett's group, and So Hirata.
