Henryk A. Witek is a chemist of Polish origin, and is a Professor of Chemistry in the National Chiao Tung University, Hsinchu, Taiwan.
His research interests encompass quantum and physical chemistry, applied linear algebra, as well as perturbation theory.
[2] This achievement (published in Science) has important implications on the understanding of fundamental processes in environmental chemistry.
[5] In 2006, he became one of four awardees of the American Chemical Society Outstanding Junior Faculty Award,[6] in 2010, he received the Distinguished Young Chemist Award from the Chinese Chemical Society,[7] and in 2014, he was awarded the APATCC Pople Medal "for his innovative contributions to theoretical and mathematical aspects of quantum chemistry, particularly his contributions to multireference perturbation theory and the density-functional tight-binding method".
[9] In fall 2017, he taught "Perturbation theory for linear operator", using the book titled the same as the course by mathematician Tosio Kato.
