Conceptual Density Functional Theory and Its Application in the Chemical Domain

Nazmul Islam, PhD, is now working as an assistant professor in the Department of Basic Sciences and Humanities at Techno Global-Balurghat (now Techno India-Balurghat), Balurghat, D. Dinajpur, India. He has published more than 60 research papers in several prestigious peer-reviewed journals and has written many book chapters and research books. In addition, he is the editor-in-chief of The SciTech, Journal of Science and Technology, The SciTech, International Journal of Engineering Sciences, and the Signpost Open Access Journal of Theoretical Sciences. He also serves as a member on the editorial boards of several journals. Dr. Islam’s research interests are in theoretical chemistry, particularly quantum chemistry, conceptual density functional theory (CDFT), periodicity, SAR, QSAR/QSPR study, drug design, HMO theory, biological function of chemical compounds, quantum biology, nanochemistry, and more. Savaş Kaya, PhD, is a lecturer at the Imranlı Vocational School, Cumhuriyet University. His research is mainly focused on Density Functional Theory, theoretical chemistry, physical inorganic chemistry. He has authored many theoretical papers related to quantum chemical parameters, corrosion science, and chemical equalization principles. He completed his MSc degree in the field of theoretical inorganic chemistry in Cumhuriyet University Science Institute and then went on to pursue his PhD education under the guidance of Professor Dr. Cemal Kaya.
