A Brief Biography
Martin Head-Gordon has been at the Department of Chemistry
at the University of California, Berkeley, since 1992, and
has been a Faculty Chemist in the Chemical Sciences Division
of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory since 1994. At Berkeley
he was promoted to Associate Professor in 1997 and Full Professor
in 2000. His awards include a 1993 National Science Foundation
Young Investigator Award, an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Research
Fellowship (1995-7), a David and Lucile Packard Fellowship
(1995-2000), and the 1998 Medal of the International Academy
of Quantum Molecular Sciences. Prior to joining the Berkeley
faculty, Dr Head-Gordon was a postdoctoral researcher at AT&T
Bell Laboratories, where he developed unique electronic structure
methods for calculating nonadiabatic energy exchange between
molecules and surfaces. He obtained his Ph.D. in 1989 from
Carnegie-Mellon University, working with Professor John Pople
on molecular orbital methods for large molecules. Head-Gordon's
research program centers on the development of new electronic
structure theory methods, and their implementation as efficient
computer algorithms. He is an author or co-author of over
120 scientific publications, and has presented over 60 invited
talks at major scientific meetings and research universities.
