Patrick Norman

Patrick Norman is a Professor and Head of the Division of Theoretical Chemistry and Biology at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden. He also serves as Director of the PDC Center for High Performance Computing. His research focuses on advanced time-dependent molecular response theory methods, with applications in optical and X-ray spectroscopy.

• Coordinates VeloxChem and Gator HPC software projects
• Leads EU-EIC project OMICSENS (2023–2026) for lung cancer biosensors
• Principal Investigator in EU-ITN COSINE (2018–2021) and KAW network CoTXS (2014–2019)

His theoretical work includes resonance convergent response theory via Liouville equations and Ehrenfest theorem, implemented in quantum chemistry software for linear/nonlinear spectroscopy. He co-authored the graduate textbook Principles and Practices of Molecular Properties (Wiley, 2018) and organizes international PhD schools on molecular response properties.

Recent publications emphasize fragment state optimization, solvation effects, chiral luminescent materials, and amyloid ligand binding simulations. His work bridges quantum chemistry, HPC, and biomedical applications through tools like Gator and VeloxChem.
