Biography
Oliver graduated with a first class honours in Chemistry from the University of Manchester and completed an MChem project under the supervision of Professor Paul Popelier, where he investigated the transferability of small water clusters for use as training sets in the FFLUX force field. After graduating, he joined Dr George Booth's group at King's College London. Oliver's research focuses on the development of theory and methods for use in quantum chemistry and their efficient implementation. He has made contributions to the open-source PySCF program, implementing a method for calculating charged excitations in molecules using Green's function perturbation theory, called AGF2.
