Alfredo Vargas

Computational and physical chemist (h-index 30) with 3,771 citations by 2,224 documents (Scopus) and 11 highly influential citations (AI Semantic Scholar), co-authored ca. 70 research articles published in high impact factor peer-reviewed scientific journals (Nature, Science, Nat. Chem., JACS, ACIE, Nat. Comm., etc).

Contributed through quantum-chemical calculations to bringing descriptive and predictive input in the fields of applied and foundational chemistry covering novel and functional materials, synthesis, catalysis, electronic structure engineering, perturbation response theory, and dedicated structure-function molecular design. Collaborations are globally distributed (United Kingdom, Germany, France, Canada, Switzerland, India, Mexico, Romania, and Australia).
