Contribution to quantum-chemical software packages
Amsterdam Density Functional (ADF): Among other developments, CK has extended the subsystem time-dependent density functional routines in ADF to use the Tamm-Dancoff-approximation. This was done in the Fortran programming language has been released with the 2013 release of ADF.
MidasCpp: CK has developed routines for automatic determination of the importance of terms in correlated vibrational wave function and written and restructured large parts of the routines that concern generation of vibrational coordinates. CK has, furthermore, authored a pilot implementation for the very efficient double incremental generation of potential energy surfaces in semi-local vibrational coordinates. These developments have been done in C++.
