I am a new assistant prof. at the Chemistry Department (Theory Group), and would like to tell you about some of the work I did prior to my coming to Purdue: (1) A method to extract accurate Rydberg excitations of atoms and molecules from the Local-Density Approximation of Density Functional Theory, despite the short-range potentials; (2) A method to obtain accurate electron-atom scattering cross sections from Time-dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT); and (3) Challenges lying ahead for studying interaction-induced chaos in few-electron systems via TDDFT "
