Lars Goerigk
Lars Goerigk is an Associate Professor in Theoretical and Computational Quantum Chemistry. He obtained his PhD in the group of Prof. Stefan Grimme (Münster, Germany) in 2011. After a postdoc with Prof. Jeffrey Reimers at The University of Sydney, he became an independent group leader at The University of Melbourne in 2014. He primarily focusses on Density Functional Theory (DFT) for electronic ground and excited states, including method development, the treatment of noncovalent interactions, and making the DFT 'zoo' more accessible to method users. His collaborations involve the design of molecular switches, fluorescent sensors, and other materials. Lars is a recipient of a 2019 Le Fèvre Medal (Australian Academy of Science), a 2020 Rennie Memorial Medal (Royal Australian Chemical Institute), and the 2022 Pople Medal (Asia-Pacific Association of Theoretical and Computational Chemists). Since 2023, he has been an Associate Editor for PCCP.
