Expertise

Prof. Raghavachari is perhaps best known for his work on the development and applications of electron correlation techniques in computational quantum chemistry. His work covers a broad spectrum of problems ranging from chemical bonding in small clusters to computational investigations of semiconductor and nanoscale materials. Most recently, his group is also focused on the development of the new electronic embedding methods in quantum chemistry and the development of accurate methods for theoretical thermochemistry.
