Montgomery Gray

Montgomery Gray works in computational and theoretical chemistry, developing and testing quantum chemistry methods for understanding weak, non-covalent interactions between molecules—such as those responsible for stacking between flat ring-shaped molecules or the attractive forces between distant molecules (van der Waals interactions). Much of the work involves building and benchmarking computational tools like symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (a method for breaking down intermolecular attraction into physically interpretable components) and evaluating how well common approximations, basis sets, and density functional theory methods perform for these interactions.

Publication output has grown over the last decade, rising from occasional papers before 2021 to a sustained higher rate (roughly 5 per year on average over the last five years), with peaks in 2021 and 2024.
