Areas of expertise Research in the Manby group is focused on the development of new methods in electronic structure theory and quantum chemistry. We also work on the application of new methods to problems of chemical interest. Our main projects are listed below:

• The Ornstein-Zernike equation in electronic structure theory
• The electron correlation problem in solids
• Accurate methods for liquids
• Electron correlation for large systems
• Explicitly correlated methods
• Other fields

Electronic structure method development is performed mostly in the Molpro quantum chemistry package, of which I am a contributing author.
