The Theoretical Chemistry Institute is part of the Physical Chemistry Division.   As our name implies we are a group of theoretical chemists at the University or Wisconsin.    Our students ordinarily work toward Ph.D. degrees in physical chemistry, in an environment that emphasizes interactions among all theoretical research groups and faculty.    The shared facilities include the TCI Library (with an outstanding collection of theoretical monographs and principal research journals), seminar and conference rooms, and computational resources.  We have close interaction with groups having primarily experimental interests strongly enhance the environment for theoretical research.  Each year the Theoretical Chemistry Institute awards the internationally recognized Hirschfelder Prize in Theoretical Chemistry.    The prize-winner spends a week visiting the department and presents three lectures during this stay. In addition, TCI has an active Visitor Program and Seminar Series, which funds visits by theorists from around the world.
