Rate My Professor Anna Krylov

Krylov directs the iOpenShell research group, where she develops theoretical methods and state-of-the-art computational codes for electronically excited and open-shell species. Her innovations include the spin-flip approach, detailed in the seminal publication 'Equation-of-motion spin-flip coupled-cluster model with single and double excitations: Theory and applications' (Journal of Chemical Physics, 2004), and advancements in treating electronic resonances, as in 'Extending Quantum Chemistry of Bound States to Electronic Resonances' (Annual Review of Physical Chemistry, 2017). These tools are applied to bioimaging, plasma chemistry, solar energy conversion, quantum information science, and spectroscopy modeling in collaboration with experimentalists. With over 32,000 citations, her work has significantly impacted theoretical and computational quantum chemistry. Krylov has earned prestigious honors including election to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2025), the Barry Prize (2023), the George Gamow Award (2024), the Earle K. Plyler Prize for Molecular Spectroscopy and Dynamics (2020), the ACS Physical Chemistry Division Award in Theoretical Chemistry (2011), the Dirac Medal (2006), APS Fellowship (2011), AAAS Fellowship (2012), and the Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award (2012). She holds editorial positions with Annual Reviews of Physical Chemistry, Chemical Physics Letters, and the International Journal of Quantum Chemistry, serves on the boards of the World Association of Theoretical and Computational Chemists and Q-Chem, Inc., where she is President, and is a member of Academia Europaea and the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science.
