Adam Rettig
Postdoc
Adam finished his Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley, under the guidance of Prof. Martin Head-Gordon. In his Ph.D., he has made numerous contributions to quantum chemistry, including the fast algorithms for exact exchange under periodic boundary conditions. He is the lead developer of Q-Chem's periodic boundary condition codebase (qcpbc) and will oversee the future development of qcpbc in the Lee group. He will also work on the development of quantum computing algorithms relevant to biological applications.

PJ Robinson
Postdoc
PJ finished his Ph.D. at Columbia University, working with Prof. David Reichman. In his Ph.D., he developed and applied self-consistent cumulant Green's function approaches to model electron-phonon problems. He also formulated a wavefunction method for describing polarons in an ab initio set-up. He is joining the Lee group to develop and apply periodic quantum chemistry methods to electrocatalysis problems.
