Biography

Marcel Nooijen conducts research in theoretical chemistry, with a long-term goal to develop accurate wave function-based electronic structure methods applicable to general open-shell systems, particularly transition metal compounds. His work focuses on developing electronic structure techniques coupled with efficient schemes to describe non-adiabatic nuclear dynamics, allowing for direct comparisons with experimental results. Nooijen advocates for an ideal electronic structure methodology based on local, multireference coupled cluster methods combined with efficient explicit correlation techniques to account for important relativistic effects. His research interests encompass a wide range including electronic structure theory, vibronic coupling, non-adiabatic nuclear dynamics, simulation of vibronic spectroscopy, coupled cluster theory for excited states, multireference methods in transition metal chemistry, investigation of efficient representations of Coulomb interactions, and various analytical methods.
