Support of the Third Summer School and Workshop Focused on Theory and Applications of Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory, Electronic Excited States, and Excited State Dynamics
To create a community of scholars with a deep understanding of TDDFT and excited state methods, both their capabilities and limitations, and how they can be used to model the excited state properties and charge transfer in materials and molecules, we are planning the third iteration of a summer school and workshop focusing on theory and applications of TDDFT, Excited States, and Excited State Dynamics to be offered in the summer of 2023. The two iterations of the US-based school that we previously organized have been very successful with overwhelmingly positive feedback. There is a high level of engagement, enthusiasm, and active participation and networking amongst the students of the school and the scientists of the workshop.

Improved Methods for Modeling Functional Transition Metal Compounds in Complex Environments: Ground States, Excited States, and Spectroscopies
Rapid advances in energy applications require new theory and computational models to provide guidance for interpretation of experimental results and mechanistic understanding. New theory development is necessary to treat systems of increasing complexity, size, and relevance to real applications. Functional transition metal compounds, including molecules, clusters, nanoparticles, surfaces, and solids, provide particular promise for magnetic, optical, and catalytic applications. However, such systems can be exceptionally challenging to model. To make progress in understanding and designing transition metal compounds for energy applications, theory must be able to simulate such systems in complex environments, as well as simulate the spectra of such complex systems to provide direct connections with experiment. Leveraging the independent expertise of the team’s members, this project aimed to make inroads to the theoretical and computational challenges associated with studying transition metal compounds, their reaction chemistry, photophysics and photochemistry, and response to spectroscopic interrogation.
