About this title

Synopsis

This textbook presents the basic concepts and features of DFT at an introductory level, suitable for undergraduate and beginning graduate students in science and engineering. The book includes many end-of-chapter problems and hands-on computer exercises, and is suitable as a textbook for a one-semester introductory course in DFT.

About the Author

Carsten A. Ullrich, Curators' Distinguished Professor, University of Missouri,Adam Wasserman, Professor of Chemistry, Purdue University

Carsten A. Ullrich received his PhD in 1995 at the University of Würzburg and, after several postdoctoral positions, joined the faculty at the University of Missouri in 2001. He received tenure in 2007 and became a full professor in 2013. In 2023 he was appointed Curator's Distinguished Professor of Physics. His research focuses on the study of the foundations and the development of new methodologies in time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) and spin-DFT. He has over 125 publications, including a book on TDDFT, and he is a Fellow of the American Physical Society.


Adam Wasserman is Professor of Chemistry at Purdue University, where he has taught since 2008. His research focuses on understanding why some chemical bonds are weak while others are strong. To do this, he and his research group develop methods based on Density Functional Theory to calculate the electronic properties of molecules directly from those of their constituent atoms. A Purdue University Faculty Scholar, Dr Wasserman holds a courtesy appointment in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, and has been a recipient of numerous awards, including an Alfred P. Sloan research Fellowship and a Camille and Henry Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar award.
