Q-Chem Webinar 90: Modeling materials with Q-Chem 7: overview of QCPBC and what's coming next

This talk, presented by Prof. Joonho Lee, reviews recent developments in Q-Chem’s periodic boundary conditions (PBC) capabilities. With the QCPBC codebase evolving rapidly, the talk will cover both the features already available in Q-Chem 7 and new developments planned for the next release. About the Presenter: Joonho Lee completed his PhD at the University of California, Berkeley in 2019 under the supervision of Prof. Martin Head-Gordon. His doctoral dissertation, “Postmodern Electronic Structure Theory,” received the 2020 Justin Jankunas Award in Chemical Physics. He subsequently undertook postdoctoral research with Prof. David Reichman at Columbia University, where his work was recognized with a 2023 Blavatnik Regional Award for Young Scientists. Since 2021, he has also served as a visiting faculty researcher with the quantum algorithms team at Google Quantum AI. In July 2023, he joined the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Harvard University as an Assistant Professor.
