Martin Philip Head-Gordon (né Martin Philip Head) FRS is a professor of chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory working in the area of computational quantum chemistry.[2] He is a member of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science.[3][1][2]
Education
A native of Australia, Head-Gordon received his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees from Monash University,[when?] followed by a PhD from Carnegie Mellon University[3] working under the supervision of John Pople developing a number of useful techniques including the Head-Gordon-Pople scheme for the evaluation of integrals,[4] and the orbital rotation picture of orbital optimization.
Career and research
At Berkeley,[5] Martin supervises a group interested in pairing methods, local correlation methods, dual-basis methods, scaled MP2 methods, new efficient algorithms, and very recently corrections to the Kohn-Sham density functional framework. Broadly speaking, wavefunction based methods are the focus of his research. Head-Gordon is one of the founders of Q-Chem Inc.[citation needed]
Awards and honors
In 2015, Head-Gordon was elected a Member of the National Academy of Sciences.[6][7]
