The fundamental laws necessary for the mathematical treatment of a large part of physics and the whole of chemistry are thus completely known, and the difficulty lies only in the fact that application of these laws leads to equations that are too complex to be solved.
Paul A. M. Dirac
So let’s see what we can do about it!

Federica Agostini is assistant professor of theoretical chemistry at the Institut de Chimie Physique of the University Paris-Saclay in France since 2016.
A big thank you to the Division de Chimie Physique de la Société Chimique de France for having me awarded with the 2022 Young Researcher Prize!
