Aim: To
develop and apply the density functional approach to computational chemistry,
to teach DFT, and to learn chemistry from as many `students' (at all levels)
as possible.
Teaching: I have taught physics and chemistry
courses, both lectures and labs, for freshmen to advanced graduate students,
at non-PhD schools to Princeton university;
courses
taught,
research students.
Publications:
Over 70 papers and book chapters.
