Scholar-generated biography
Clemence Corminboeuf is a Professor of Chemistry at EPFL, specializing in computational chemistry and theoretical methods. Her research focuses on the development and application of advanced computational techniques to study molecular interactions, aromaticity, and electronic structure. She has contributed significantly to the understanding of dispersion corrections, density functional theory (DFT), and the interpretation of nucleus-independent chemical shifts (NICS) as an aromaticity criterion. Her work also explores machine learning applications in chemistry, particularly for modeling electron density and predicting catalytic behavior. Corminboeuf's research bridges theoretical and experimental approaches to address challenges in chemical accuracy and reactivity.
