William A. Lester, Jr.
Professor of Chemistry
walester@cchem.berkeley.edu |
Research interests
Professor Lester's research efforts are focused on theoretical studies
of the electronic structure of molecules. Efforts in the former area
are directed to extending the powerful quantum Monte Carlo method to
the range of chemical problems that form the traditional domain of
quantum chemistry, and beyond because of the capability of not imposing
the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. Research by the Lester group has
confirmed that highly accurate ground state and excited state energies
are attainable by the method. Properties other than the energy
including dipole and quadrupole moments as well as matrix elements
connecting different electronic states (oscillator strengths and
lifetimes) have been determined following algorithms developed by his
group. |
