Mr. Diptarka Hait

Dip is a graduate student in Prof. Martin Head-Gordon's group at UC Berkeley, working towards a PhD in theoretical chemistry. He is interested in electronic structure methods of all kinds, but has recently been focusing on ways to use DFT for problems other than ground state energies. Dip has also worked on developing multireference, selected configuration interaction wave function methods, and participated on a broad range of experimental collaborations (spanning from simulation of crossed molecular beams to homogenous catalysis by bimetallic Fe complexes to asymmetric catalysis with aldolases). 

Prior to coming to Berkeley, Dip was an undergrad researcher with Prof. Troy Van Voorhis at MIT. He'll probably soon be looking for postdoc positions as well. For further details, see his personal site or his Google Scholar profile.
