This volume contains peer-reviewed contributions based on talks presented at the 26th International Workshop on Quantum Systems in Chemistry, Physics, and Biology held in Jaipur, India, in October 2023. It provides an in-depth discussion of methodological approaches that are relevant across various length scales, elucidating their applications in diverse chemical and biological systems, such as catalysis and materials. Authored by experts in their respective fields, each chapter showcases recent developments and offers insights into the latest research trends. This book is aimed at advanced graduate students, academics, and researchers, both in university and corporation laboratories, interested in state-of-the-art and novel trends in quantum chemistry, physics, and biology, and their applications.
Sourav Pal, currently Professor and Head of Chemistry at Ashoka University, is a distinguished theoretical chemist renowned for his contributions to many-body electronic structure theory, chemical reactivity, and computational material science. With a career spanning over four decades, he served as Director of NCL (2010 2015) and IISER Kolkata (2017 2022) and was a professor at IIT Bombay and other esteemed institutions globally. A pioneer in ab-initio coupled-cluster theory, he has published over 300 research papers, guided 45+ Ph.D. theses, and authored influential works, including Mathematics in Chemistry. Prof. Pal is a Fellow of several prestigious academies and has received numerous accolades, including the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Award (2000) and the SASTRA-CNR Rao Award (2014). His leadership extends to key scientific councils and editorial boards, shaping global chemical research and education.
Vipin Srivastava, born on May 2 1952, in India, pursued his Bachelor s and Master s in Physics at the University of Allahabad and completed Doctoral work on the Theory of Electron States in Disordered Condensed Matter Systems at the University of Roorkee (now an IIT) in 1976. He then proceeded to the Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh (UK) to work on the challenging subject of Electron Localization. He started his career in teaching and research at the University of Hyderabad in 1980, where he rose to professorship in 1990 and superannuated in 2017. In this course, he held various administrative positions, including those of Dean and Pro Vice Chancellor. His research comprises a wide spectrum of areas like electron localization, quantum percolation, quantum Hall effect, self-avoiding and continuous time random walks, modelling brain functions and neural networks, cognitive learning and memory, and some areas in geophysics. He has supervised research, published about 200 research papers, edited 4 scientific volumes, served on editorial boards and as guest editor, and organised eight international meetings. He has travelled extensively for collaboration, conferences, and to occupy visiting positions, most notably at the University of Cambridge (UK), International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste (Italy), University of Uppsala, NORDITA and Niels Bohr Institute, Copenhagen, Trinity College, Dublin, Georg-August-Universität, Göttingen, INPE Sao Paulo, and ITP, Beijing.
Vidya Avasare completed her post-graduation in Organic Chemistry at Savitribai Phule Pune University, after which she joined SP College, Pune, as a faculty member in the Chemistry department and worked there until August 17, 2023. In 2009, she completed her PhD in Organometallics from IIT Bombay, where she worked under the guidance of Professor Pardeep Mathur. Her doctoral research focused on studying the interactions between metal-carbonyl complexes and small organic molecules. While working at SP College, she developed a strong interest in computational catalysis to investigate complex catalytic processes. She recognized that understanding these processes and the structure-activity relationships of catalysts is crucial for developing efficient and sustainable catalytic systems and that DFT and ML models would play a key role in achieving this. On August 18, 2023, she moved to Ashoka University as a professor in the Department of Chemistry. At Ashoka University, she is now engaged in both computational and experimental catalysis research. Her main research interest is focused on CO2 capture and utilization and development of sustainable catalytic technologies for CO2 activation, green hydrogen production, cross coupling reactions and C-H activations for commercial applications. She has been honored as one of the She Is:75 Women in Chemistry, India" and is a recipient of the Indian National Science Academy's National Teacher Award 2021.
