Welcome!
My name is Enzo Monino, I am a post-doc in the group of Libor Veis at the J. Heyrovsky Institute of Physical Chemistry in Prague (Czech Republic). I did my Ph.D. in the group of Pierre-François Loos at the Laboratoire de Chimie et Physique Quantiques in Toulouse (France).
I have studied theoretical chemistry and modeling at the University of Montpellier in the south of France. During my master, I had the opportunity to do two internships. The first one was about the computation of bound states of the $\text{HeH}_2^+$ complex using the multi-configuration time-dependent Hartree (MCTDH) approach. The second one was about orbital relaxation in the context of molecular electronic transition computations.
My Ph.D. thesis is entitled Green’s function methods for charged and neutral excitations where I apply some well-known approximations (second-Born, $GT$, and $GW$) to compute these excitations in molecules. In this thesis, I also explore some of the features of these methods like discontinuities in physical quantities (and their origins) as well as the connections between these methods.
I am mainly interested in electronic structure methods based on perturbation theory (but not only) with a focus on excited states. I am also one of the developers of the qcmath software that is based on the Mathematica environment. It aims to help newcomers in quantum chemistry easily to develop their ideas thanks to the powerful symbolic nature of Mathematica.
In my post-doc, I’m interested in the Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) method and its application on challenging strongly correlated problems. I also work on quantum computing and its usage in quantum chemistry.
