Dr. Eran Rabani

Biography

Eran Rabani is the Glenn T. Seaborg Chair in the Department of Chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley. He earned a B.Sc. from Hebrew University in 1991 and a Ph.D. in Theoretical Chemistry from the same institution in 1996 as a Clore Fellow. He was a Rothschild Fulbright Postdoctoral Fellow at Columbia University from 1996 to 1999. His subsequent honors include the Yigal Alon Fellowship from 1999 to 2002, the Bergman Memorial Research Award in 2000, the Friedenberg Award in 2002, and the Israel Chemical Society Prize for Young Investigators in 2003. In 2006, he received the Michael Bruno Memorial Award. He has been invited as a professor at Ecole Normale Superieure in 2008 and served as a J.T. Oden Faculty Fellow at the University of Texas, Austin. From 2010 to 2013, he was a Marie Curie International Fellow and was also a Visiting Miller Research Professor from 2010 to 2011. His research focuses on Theoretical Computational Chemistry, specifically the development of theoretical computational tools to investigate fundamental properties of nanostructures, including their structural, electronic, and optical properties. He has made significant contributions to the field, especially in the development of stochastic electronic structure techniques for large-scale nanostructures and real-time approaches to nonequilibrium many-body quantum dynamics.
