Murat Keçeli | Computational Scientist
Argonne National Laboratory

Murat Keçeli is a Computational Scientist at Argonne National Laboratory. His primary research goal is to accelerate chemical discovery to address the pressing challenges of the 21st century, such as sustainable energy, environmental protection, and advanced materials design. While quantum mechanics provides the fundamental framework for understanding chemical interactions, the complexity of these equations makes exact solutions unattainable, even on the most powerful supercomputers. By developing novel computational methods and integrating artificial intelligence with high-performance computing, Murat aims to overcome these limitations, unlocking new possibilities in materials and molecular discovery. Murat received BS and MS degrees in physics from Bilkent University and a PhD degree in chemical physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. After graduation, he conducted postdoctoral research at MIT and Argonne National Laboratory.
