Research interests:

My research interest lies in explicitly correlated F12 methods, which are powerful tools to overcome the basis set incompleteness error (BSIE) of the correlation energy by including explicitly coupled two-electron terms into the underlying wave function of a system. Here, I aim to drastically reduce the required computational time of existing approaches using advanced mathematical techniques to increase the performance while remaining highly accurate compared to canonical formulations. With my efforts, I hope to increase the applicability and the popularity of F12 theories.
