Frank Neese is a German theoretical chemist at the Max Planck Institute for Coal Research.[1] He is the author of more than 440 scientific articles in journals of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Physics. His work focuses on the theory of magnetic spectroscopies (electron paramagnetic resonance, magnetic circular dichroism) and their experimental and theoretical application, local pair natural orbital correlation theories, spectroscopy oriented configuration interaction, electronic and geometric structure and reactivity of transition metal complexes and metalloenzymes. He is lead author of the ORCA quantum chemistry computer program.[2] His methods have been applied to a range of problems in coordination chemistry, homogeneous catalysis, and bioinorganic chemistry.[3][4]
