A computational <physicist> who coauthored a <Quantum Monte Carlo> calculation of the interacting <electron gas> with <B. J. Alder>. The method samples a many-particle quantum problem stochastically to obtain <ground state> correlation energies. Comparing candidate phases turns a microscopic interaction law into predictions about collective states, and gives other many-electron approximations a quantitative reference.<Ground State of the Electron Gas by a Stochastic Method by D.
