David Ceperley

David Ceperley is a computational physicist. He received the Aneesur Rahman Prize for Computational Physics. The Aneesur Rahman prize is the highest honor given by the American Physical Society for work in computational physics. He has done pioneering work on the development and application of the path integral Monte Carlo method for quantum many-body systems, such as superfluid helium and hydrogen under extreme conditions.

The Tanatar-Ceperley exchange-correlation functional is named after him and Bilal Tanatar (currently at Bilkent University in Turkey).
