Michael J. Frisch is an American theoretical chemist known for his significant contributions to computational chemistry and his role in the development of the Gaussian suite of electronic structure programs. He has played a pivotal role in the advancement of quantum chemistry methods and their application to the study of molecular systems.[1][2]
Early life and education
editMichael J. Frisch obtained his Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon University, where he focused on developing computational methods to predict molecular structures, properties, and reactions.[3]
Academic and professional career
editFrisch holds the position of Tishler Professor of Chemistry at Wesleyan University. His research interests include quantum chemistry, density functional theory (DFT), and the development of computational methods for studying molecular systems. At Wesleyan, he is involved in both teaching and research and advancing the field of computational chemistry through innovative research.[4]
Contributions to Computational Chemistry
editOne of Frisch's notable contributions is his work with Gaussian, Inc., where he played a key role in the development of the Gaussian software package. This software is widely used in computational chemistry for molecular modeling and quantum chemical calculations. His research has significantly advanced the understanding of molecular interactions and reaction mechanisms.[5][6]
Frisch has published extensively on topics such as ab initio molecular dynamics, the Hartree-Fock method, and DFT. His work often focuses on improving the efficiency and accuracy of computational methods, enabling scientists to perform complex calculations more effectively. For instance, his research on the Polarizable Continuum Model (PCM) has enhanced the ability to simulate solvent effects in chemical reactions.[7]
