T. Daniel Crawford

Prof. T. Daniel Crawford oversees the day-to-day operations of the Institute, including management of the MolSSI Staff and Software Fellows.

Prof. T. Daniel Crawford’s research expertise includes the development of high-accuracy quantum chemical models for the spectroscopic properties of chiral molecules in both gas and liquid phases. For more than 20 years he has been a lead developer of the PSI quantum chemistry package, which was one of the first electronic structure packages to be distributed under a fully open-source license and is used by thousands of molecular scientists worldwide. He is the 2010 winner of the Dirac Medal of the World Association of Theoretical and Computational Chemists (WATOC).
