Neepa T. Maitra is a

Graduate Center of the City University of New York.[1] She now works as a professor at Rutgers, in the field of theoretical chemical physics.[2] She is most well known for her contributions to theoretical chemistry and chemical physics, especially in the development of accurate functionals in time-dependent density functional theory
and correlated electron-ion dynamics.

Early life and education

Maitra was born in September 1972, raised in New Zealand,

Research projects and publications

Time-dependent density functional theory is an area to investigate the properties of various functionals and has a wide range of implications and applications. [6]

Exact factorization approach is a way to explore numerical stability of equations, and improve understanding of exact potentials and equations. [6]

Polaritonic chemistry is a field that arose from manipulating molecules. Maitra's group has been investigating these phenomena through an extension of the exact factorization approach. [6]

Presentations

At the CECAM workshop on Triggering Out-of-Equilibrium Dynamics in Molecular Systems in Lausanne, Switzerland in March 2023, Maitra participated and gave an invited talk remotely. [7]In August 2023, Maitra presented remotely at the Progress in Non-Equilibrium Green’s Function Workshop in Orebro, Sweden discussing recent work on perspectives on TDDFT beyond linear response. [8]
