His contributions to the field of Quantum Chemistry include a pioneering paper challenging, on theoretical grounds, the geometry of triplet methylene as assigned by Nobel Prize-winning experimentalist Gerhard Herzberg ; the development of the Z-vector method simplifying certain calculations of correlated systems; and a wide body of work undertaken in his research group on the geometries, properties, and reactions of chemical systems using highly accurate ''ab initio'' quantum chemical techniques. Many of these papers have predicted, or forced a reinterpretation of, experimental results. A prodigious author, he has more than 1000 scientific publications, the majority appearing in the Journal of Chemical Physics or the Journal of the American Chemical Society. He was awarded the American Chemical Society Award in Pure Chemistry in 1979 "for the development of computational quantum chemistry into a reliable quantitative field of chemistry and for prolific exemplary calculations of broad chemical interest". According to the Science Citation Index, during the period of 1981-1997, he was the sixth most highly cited chemist in the world. He is also an active , the controversial group best known for its sponsorship of the Intelligent Design movement. EXTERNAL LINKS |
