About

Roland Lindh is a leading figure in computational quantum chemistry, with his research centered on the development of advanced electronic structure methods and their application to molecular simulations. His major contributions include pioneering work on multiconfigurational self-consistent field (MCSCF) theory, particularly the development of the complete active space (CAS) SCF method and its extensions, which have become essential tools for studying excited states and chemical reactions. Lindh is also renowned for his role in creating the open-source quantum chemistry software package Molcas, a widely used platform for high-accuracy molecular calculations. His impact is reflected in over 20,000 citations, with his most cited paper, "The Matter Simulation (R)evolution" (2018, 143 citations), highlighting the transformative role of computational methods in materials science. Notable achievements include receiving the prestigious Dirac Medal and serving as a key contributor to the European Center for Atomic and Molecular Computations (CECAM). Lindh’s work continues to shape the field, enabling researchers to tackle complex problems in photochemistry, catalysis, and molecular dynamics with unprecedented precision.
