professor emeritus.[1]
Sham was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1998.[2]
Scientific contributions
Sham is noted for his work on density functional theory (DFT) with Walter Kohn, which resulted in the Kohn–Sham equations of DFT.[3] The Kohn–Sham method is widely used in materials science.[4] Kohn received a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1998 for the Kohn–Sham equations and other work related to DFT.
Sham's other research interests include
electron spins in semiconductor nanostructures for quantum information processing.[1]
