Peter Pulay

Peter Pulay

Peter Pulay (Born September 20, 1941) in Veszprém, Hungary is a theoretical chemist. He is the Roger B. Bost Professor of Chemistry, in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Arkansas, U.S.

His most important contribution is the introduction of the gradient method in quantum chemistry. This allows the prediction of the geometric structure of a molecule using computational chemical programs to be almost routine. He is the main author of the PQS computational chemistry program.

Among many honours he was made a Foreign Member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 1993. He is a member of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science.
