Kenneth G. Wilson

Ph.D. in Physics, California Institute of Technology, 1961

My overall interest is in many-body problems especially those that arise in elementary particle physics. However, for the next few years I will be focusing on science education. Nevertheless, I maintain an interest in quantum chemistry. In particular, I am interested in developing improved understanding and computation techniques for the molecular bond, such as separation of atomic effects from molecular effects, isolation of short distance Coulomb repulsion effects, and lowering the cost of computation for very large molecules.
