Eloy Ramos Cordoba

Tenured Scientist

Eloy Ramos Cordoba obtained his PhD from the University of Girona in 2014. His doctoral research focused on the development of new chemical bonding tools and software to address complex chemical problems. After completing his PhD, he conducted postdoctoral research at the Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC), specializing in electronic correlation and molecular properties. Subsequently, he was awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship, which allowed him to continue his postdoctoral research at the University of California, Berkeley, where he developed advanced computational methods to characterize charge-transfer excited states.

Upon his return to Spain, he joined the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) as a Juan de la Cierva researcher and later as an Ikerbasque researcher, continuing his research in electronic structure theory and chemical bonding. Currently, he is a tenured scientist at IQAC-CSIC, where he leads projects systematically investigating the limitations and failure points of quantum electronic structure methods, including both wave function-based methods and density functional theory approximations. He also develops new interpretive tools for chemical bonding to connect quantum mechanical calculations with traditional chemical concepts.
