Dr. Sourav Pal is one of the pioneers in the area of quantum chemistry. He is one of the leaders in the response properties using coupled-cluster based methods. His major scientific accomplishments include rigorous development of expectation value as well as extended coupled-cluster functional retaining size-extensivity of analytic properties, pioneering development of the response properties to multi-reference coupled cluster (MRCC) theory, important applications of the theory to spectra, study of the effect of electron correlation and role of exchange effects on the low energy electron molecule scattering, introduction of complex scaling and complex absorbing potential in MRCC theory to calculate electron-atom and electron-molecule resonances accurately. He has recently developed a non-iterative approximation to coupled-perturbed Kohn-Sham density functional theoretic equations for calculation of non-linear properties, which is currently implemented in the developers’ version of deMon code.

Dr. Sourav Pal has also made significant contributions in the area of reactivity descriptors highlighting the conditions of validity of the principle of maximum hardness, deriving qualitative relation of hardness with polarizability, establishing Hirshfeld population in calculation of condensed Fukui functions and developing local hard-soft-acid-base principle for molecular recognition. Further, among his major scientific contributions is study of anti-aromaticity in metal clusters using ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) study of structure, electron localisation function and magnetic ring currents. Very recently, he has addressed the incorporation of Sn-into Beta Zeolites theoretically using AIMD and is actively engaged in computational study of hydrogen storage properties of materials.

Proposed deletion of Sourav Pal

The article Sourav Pal has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. VQuakr (talk) 06:31, 30 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Welcome

Hello, Palsourav, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you created appears to be an article about yourself. This is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

The page you created about yourself has been or will shortly be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, but if you want to use the content from it, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.
