William L. Jorgensen (born October 5, 1949, New York) is a Sterling Professor of Chemistry at Yale University.[1] He is considered a pioneer in the field of computational chemistry. Some of his contributions include the TIP3P, TIP4P, and TIP5P water models, the OPLS force field, and his work on free-energy perturbation theory for modeling reactions in solution, protein-ligand binding, and drug design; he has over 450 publications in the field. Jorgensen was the Editor of the ACS Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation from its founding in 2005 until 2022.
