Albert DeFusco received his PhD under the supervision of Ken Jordan at the University of Pittsburgh and was a post-doctoral research assistant at Iowa State University with Mark Gordon. Albert’s primary area of scientific research is in the field of molecular electronic structure. He has extensive experience in both application and development. His primary research topics have included the development of a simple model potential for water that has been used with an electron attachment method, the development and application of hybrid solvation methods (QM/MM) to compute solvent-induced shifts of the UV absorption spectra of solvated molecules and the incorporation of other advanced quantum chemical methods into the GAMESS package. Albert is also involved in the development of graphical interface programs for use in computational chemistry, for example, the Avogadro package.
