Biography
Lars Goerigk is a lecturer at the School of Chemistry at The University of Melbourne. In 2011, he obtained his PhD in the group of Prof. Stefan Grimme at the University of Münster, Germany. He then relocated to The University of Sydney on a postdoctoral scholarship funded by the Germany Academy of Sciences “Leopoldina”, where he worked in the group of Prof. Jeffrey R. Reimers and also established a successful collaboration with Prof. Leo Radom. In 2014, Lars joined the School of Chemistry at The University of Melbourne as an ARC DECRA Fellow, where he transitioned to a continuing role as a lecturer in June 2016.
Research Interest
Applications in computational organic and inorganic chemistry (computational chemistry) - Development of new quantum-chemical methods, in particular in the field of density functional theory (e.g. double-hybrid density functionals) - The accurate treatment of London-dispersion effects (van-der-Waals forces) in noncovalently bound systems and in general thermochemical problems - The development of thermochemical benchmarks to evaluate quantum-chemical methods (QM method evaluation, thermoch (... more)
