Abstract:

Bob Parr is a professor of chemistry and pioneer in the development of density functional theory in quantum mechanics. His most significant contribution was the 1988 LYP paper, named after the authors Lee, Yang, and Parr. The LYP paper solved a huge problem in theoretical chemistry and made much more accurate calculations possible.
