Emanuel Contreras

I finally got my admission checklist done, I still can't really believe it, but I do know that it's gonna be an incredible experience. See you all in MI, #GoSpartans #GoGreens #GoMSU

One of the PhD students in my group, @EmanuelContC, gave a wonderful departmental seminar about the state-universal multireference coupled-cluster theory, its historical origins, mathematical foundations, early developments, and more recent work. Great job, Emanuel! @MSUChem

Finalmente tengo un Kindle. Pero tengo miles de libros descargados en mi laptop y quiero pasarlos para allá sin tener que pagar en Amazon :( No quiero comprar todos los libros otra vez… Quien ayuda a esta cristiana a hackear el sistema? Gracias 🥹😭

Two PhD students in my group, @EmanuelContC and @KartikPal574, had their 1st guidance committee meetings. They gave nice talks about their research plans. Congratulations guys! We also have a new graduate student, Nikolaos Korakis from @uoaofficial. Welcome to the group, Nikos!

I'd like to add that the foreword for the special issue of @MolecularPhys, by the Guest Editors, Drs. Karol Kowalski and Nicholas Bauman from @PNNLab, has been released online: doi.org/10.1080/002689…. I'm truly honored. Many🙏, Karol and Nick, for organizing this issue! @MSUChem

@FlorSil35160641 @Brenn0505 Quien crees que ha armado y entrenado a los criminales que tienen a Mexico sumido en la violencia?

@Brenn0505 Cuando se trata dé Mexico no mueven un dedo.

Estudiantes de Antropología cerraron Reforma en protesta por los mexicanos activistas que secuestró Israel. Piden al gobierno que rompa relaciones con Israel. (Si fue secuestro estaban en aguas internacionales, para los que defienden a Israel).

@carlos_toledo @Brenn0505 Ya lo han hecho un bueeeen de veces

@Brenn0505 Si tienen tantos 🥚🥚, ¿porqué no van directa a la embajada de Israel en México? Está un poco más adelante…

Happy 94th birthday, Sir Roger Penrose! 🎉

@nanoprofe En la primer clase de doctorado que tomé, el profesor nos regalo una copia de ese libro, que golpe de realidad cuando apenas se empieza, aun me encuentro indeciso a leerlo.

En el mundo de la investigación científica, ciertamente, un doctorado no es suficiente (ni es fundamental). Pero habrá que leerlo con calma. ¿Tu que piensas?

Yesterday, after giving my QSCP-XXVII lecture and listening to more talks afterwards, I attended a banquet in the French Senate during which I was awarded the QSCP Senior Scientist Medal of CMOA. A total surprise to me, but I’m happy to join the previous recipients of this honor.

It is simply not possible.

WATOC 2025 is under way. I gave my talk on the CIPSI-driven and adaptive CC(P;Q) approaches available in CCpy (github.com/piecuch-group/…) 2 days ago. Two former members of my group are here, Karol Kowalski and Maricris Mayes. Pictures with Maricris and from my lecture are attached.

A cat co-authored a scientific paper in 1975, when his owner, a physicist named Jack H. Hetherington, decided to add him as a second author to avoid changing the plural pronouns in his manuscript. The cat’s name was Chester, and he was given the pen name F.D.C. Willard, which stood for Felix Domesticus, Chester. Willard was also the name of Chester’s father. The paper was about atomic behavior at different temperatures, and it was published in Physical Review Letters, a prestigious physics journal. Chester’s co-authorship was revealed when Hetherington sent some signed copies of the paper to his friends and colleagues, and included the cat’s paw prints as his signature. The story became widely known and amused many people in the scientific community. Chester even published another paper as the sole author in 1980, in a French popular science magazine. He died in 1982, but he is still remembered as the first and only cat to have authored a published scientific paper.
