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.
