Monika Musiał graduated from the University of Silesia in Katowice (MSc in theoretical chemistry) in 1996. She received her Ph.D in 2002 for her work on the development of new coupled cluster models, including high-rank cluster operators. In the following years, she made her habilitation and, later, in 2014, she received the title of full professor. She spent several years at the Quantum Theory Project (University of Florida), working as a postdoctoral associate in the research group of Professor Rodney J. Bartlett. Currently she is a group leader (Research group for studies on electron correlation) at the Institute of Chemistry of the University of Silesia in Katowice. Monika Musiał's group develops new computational methods aimed at the determination of energetic effects accompanying bond breaking processes. The new schemes rely on the highly elaborate approach to the evaluation of electronic correlation effects based on the coupled cluster method. These computational tools are particularly useful in studies of potential energy curves and, owing to that, they can be used in the accurate description of a dissociation process. Such very accurate methods are necessary in the studies of molecules in ultra-low temperatures where the precise knowledge of interatomic interactions in the whole range of the distance between engaged atoms is required. She is a co-author of the well-known quantum chemistry program packages, ACESII and GAMESS.
