Gergely Gidofalvi is an Associate Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Gonzaga University. He received his B.S. summa cum laude in Chemistry from San Diego State University (2002), followed by an M.S. (2003) and Ph.D. (2006) in Chemistry from the University of Chicago, where he worked under David A. Mazziotti on variational reduced-density-matrix theory.

His research focuses on developing efficient computational algorithms for modeling molecular properties and reaction energetics, particularly using two-electron reduced-density-matrix (2-RDM) approaches and the graphically contracted function (GCF) method. These methods aim to improve accuracy and cost-effectiveness in electronic structure theory for strongly correlated systems.
The 15 most recent publications highlight advancements in quantum chemistry software (e.g., Q-Chem 5), GPU-accelerated algorithms, wavefunction analysis via Shavitt graphs, and parametrization of orthogonal matrices. They emphasize applications in multireference methods, electronic correlation, and molecular modeling, with collaborations at Argonne National Laboratory, Florida State University, and Q-Chem, Inc.
