BACKGROUND<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rodney J. Bartlett pioneered the development of coupled-cluster theory and its many-body perturbation theory approximations, that today, offer the best, ab initio<\/em>, \u00a0solution for the electron correlation problem in molecules. The rationale for these many-body methods is correct scaling with the number of electrons—size-extensivity— a concept he introduced.\u00a0 His work has been recognized by the ACS Award in Theoretical Chemistry, (2007), the Schrodinger Medal of WATOC (2008), and the Boys-Rahman award of the Royal Society of Chemistry (2009). His h-index is 109.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
