David Lauvergnat
David Lauvergnat is a Research Professor at the University of Paris-Saclay. His main interest is the development of numerical tools for quantum dynamics simulations. In particular, he is developing sparse grid schemes and he is the main developer of the Tnum-Tana code, which deals with curvilinear coordinates and the associated kinetic energy operators.

David Mendive-Tapia
David Mendive-Tapia is a postdoctoral research associate in the Theoretical Chemistry Group at Heidelberg University. His main research interests are the study of photochemical chemical reactivity through the mapping of potential energy surfaces (e.g. TD-DFT, ADC and CAS-SCF methods), high dimensional quantum dynamics and the use of machine learning and pattern recognition techniques within the context of the Multi-Layer MCTDH framework.

Hans-Dieter Meyer
Hans-Dieter Meyer is a retired professor for Theoretical Chemistry at Heidelberg University and is one of the inventors of MCTDH. His interests include classical analogs for treating electronic transitions (mapping), classical chaos and statistical distributions of quantum levels, complex absorbing potentials (CAP), and the development and application of MCTDH. Over the last decades his focus turned more and more towards MCTDH. He also maintains the Heidelberg MCTDH software package.

Sudip Sasmal
Sudip Sasmal is a postdoctoral research associate in the Theoretical Chemistry Group at Heidelberg University. His main research interests are method development to study highly correlated coupled electron-nuclear dynamics without using potential energy surfaces, compact sum-of-product representation of the electronic Hamiltonian, and ultrafast electron dynamics.

Markus Schröder
Markus Schröder is a staff scientist in the Theoretical Chemistry Group at Heidelberg University. His main research interests are the description of large amplitude motions and proton transfer in floppy molecules. Within the MCTDH framework he is interested in compact operator representations as well as refitting of high-dimensional potential energy surfaces into a sum-of-products form.

Graham Worth
Graham Worth is a Professor of Computational Chemistry at University College London. He is a lead developer of the Quantics suite for quantum dynamics, which now includes the Heidelberg MCTDH package. His main interests are simulating non-adiabatic dynamics and photo-excited processes. Present development work focuses on generating potential surfaces on-the-fly using direct dynamics.
