I am officially retired and no longer accept graduate students or postdoctoral fellows.

Some recent and some recurring themes in my research include

• determination of accurate properties of molecules; see, for example:
  Construction of constrained dipole oscillator strength distributions. A. J. Thakkar. Z. Phys. Chemie, 230, 633-650 (2016).
• a wide variety of methodological issues; see, for example:
  How well do static electronic dipole polarizabilities from gas-phase experiments compare with density functional and MP2 computations? A. J. Thakkar and T. Wu. J. Chem. Phys., 143, 144302 (2015).
• mapping the energy landscapes of hydrogen-bonded clusters; see, for example:
  How Can One Locate the Global Energy Minimum for Hydrogen-Bonded Clusters? S. Kazachenko and A. J. Thakkar. Practical Aspects of Computational Chemistry IV, pp. 25-55 (2016).
• probing the electron momentum density perspective as an alternative to the electron number (charge) density usually used; see, for example:
  Molecular size from moments of the momentum density. S. A. Blair and A. J. Thakkar. Chem. Phys. Lett., 609, 113-116 (2014).
