Rod Bartlett will receive the 2008 Schroedinger Medal fron the World Association of Theorectical and Computational Chemists at the WATOC World Congress in Sydney, Australia, September 14-19, 2008.  The medal is being awarded for "his outstanding work  on the systematic development of correlated wave function methods, especially many-body perturbation theory and coupled cluster theory."

Rod Bartlett is co-organizer of a workshop "Atomic, Chemical, and Nuclear Developments in Coupled Cluster Theory" being held at the Institute for Nulcear Theory of the University of Washington. The workshop will run June 23 to July 25, 2008. For more information, contact Dr. Bartlett at bartlett@qtp.ufl.edu.

The founder of ACES Q.C., Rod Bartlett, we recently named the recipient of the American Chemical Society Award for Theoretical Chemistry for 2007! The citation withiin by the late John Pope read, ".... for his development of many-body pertubation theory and coupled cluster theory."

[08.12.05] ACES QC has created a parallel version of ACES II, ACESIII to perform coupled-cluster calcuations, that runs at ~90% efficiency over 256 processors. This work was sponsored by a CHSSI from the DoD. Results have been reported at the workshop using ACES III .

ACES QC has recently received funding for a phase II STTR from AFOSR. In cooperation the University of Florida, ACES QC will develop software to provide reliable, make calculations of rate constants for gas phase reactions, convenient spinning the spectrum, reliable structure claculations theory from coupled-cluster theory, or density funtional theory, to even simpler, transfer Hamiltonion, altermatives.
