O autorze

Victor Anisimov is an Application Performance Engineer at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility. He holds a Ph.D. degree in Physical Chemistry from the Institute of Chemical Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences (1997), which was followed by 5 years of computational chemistry software development with Fujitsu, where his team developed the linear scaling semi-empirical quantum chemistry code LocalSCF that expanded the limits of the approximate electronic structure theory to millions of atoms. He performed postdoctoral work at the University of Maryland at Baltimore (2003-2008), and at the University of Texas at Houston (2008-2011), improving molecular dynamics methods and contributing to the CHARMM code. In the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (2011-2019), Dr. Anisimov held the position of Senior Research Scientist, conducted application support for petascale resource allocation teams on the Blue Waters supercomputer, optimized various application codes, and improved the performance and scaling profiles of coupled cluster singles and doubles electronic structure method in NWChem code. Dr. Anisimov works on the faithful representation of long-range electrostatic interactions in large-scale molecular simulations, near-neighbor communication algorithms, and linear-scaling methods. He specializes in performance optimization and fidelity improvements of electronic structure and soft matter simulation application codes on exascale platforms.

James J. P. Stewart pioneered the use of semiempirical quantum chemistry methods in research and teaching.  After teaching at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland, he became a researcher at the United States Air Force Academy, then taught as an adjoint professor at the University of Colorado. For the past 30 years, his company, Stewart Computational Chemistry, has been marketing his program, MOPAC, which now has over 30,000 licensed users and groups worldwide. Dr. Stewart has authored over 150 research papers and his works have been cited over 38,000 times.
