• Biography

  Tom Manz is a Chemical & Materials Engineering faculty at New Mexico State University. His research group develops new computational chemistry methods and physical interaction models. He is the lead developer of the Density-Derived Electrostatic and Chemical method and associated Chargemol software that computes atom-in-material properties (e.g., charges, spin moments, bond orders, polarizabilities, London dispersion coefficients, etc.) by analyzing quantum-mechanically computed electron and spin density distributions of materials. These descriptors can also be used to construct classical force fields for molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations.
