Sourav Pal (born 12 May 1955) is an Indian theoretical chemist, former professor of chemistry at IIT Bombay,[2] and former director of the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Kolkata.[3] He was a director of the CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory in Pune and an adjunct professor at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune.
He has made contributions in the field of coupled cluster-based methods of quantum chemistry.[4] He also developed expectation value and the response properties to multi-reference coupled cluster theory, as well as extended coupled-cluster functions.[5] He has developed a non-iterative approximation to coupled-perturbed Kohn-Sham density functional theoretic equations to calculate non-linear properties.
He has also made contributions in the area of reactivity descriptors; he established Hirshfeld population in the calculation of Fukui functions and developed the local hard-soft-acid-base principle for molecular recognition.[6] He also studied anti-aromaticity in metal clusters.[7]
