Lionel Lacombe is a theoretical physicist and Postdoctoral Fellow at Rutgers University.
His research aims at the development of practical and accurate methods to describe quantum many-body systems of interest in materials science and quantum chemistry.
The projects so far have spanned functional development in time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) for non-adiabatic dynamics and excitations, derivation of embedding methods for strongly-correlated electrons, and study of coupled electron-ion dynamics and quantized light-matter interactions via the exact factorization (EF) approach.
