Filipp furrow
Filipp Ulrich Furche (* 1974 in Stuttgart ) is a German theoretical chemist at the University of California, Irvine .
Life
Furche obtained the Abitur at the Eberhard-Ludwigs-Gymnasium Stuttgart . He studied chemistry at the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg and the University of Karlsruhe . In 1998 he earned his linear response in the context of density functional theory . Chiroptic properties of helicenes with Reinhart Ahlrichs the diploma . After a research stay with John P. Perdew at Tulane University , Furche received his PhD in 2002 from Ahlrichs with a thesis on density functional methods for electronically excited molecules. Theory - implementation - application . As a postdoctoral fellow he again worked with Perdew and from 2004 was a research assistant at the University of Karlsruhe, where he completed his habilitation in 2006 .
In 2006, Furche took over the leadership of his own working group at the Center for Functional Nanostructures at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology , before joining the University of California, Irvine as an Associate Professor in 2008 . Here he received a full professorship in 2011.
Act
Furche developed methods of quantum chemistry and implemented them in highly efficient computer programs, working closely with experimental groups. In particular, he dealt with time-dependent density functional theory and applied the random phase approximation to materials with a small band gap . His work found applications in photochemistry and physics and made it possible to calculate the geometries of larger molecules such as those of gold cluster ions .
In 2007, Furche was one of the founders of TURBOMOLE GmbH and was its first managing director.
