Aurora Pribram-Jones is an electronic structure theorist, with a focus on density functional theory (DFT). In particular, the PJ Group focuses on analysis of exact theories using model systems, as well as developing ensemble and thermal extensions of ground-state DFT. A key project in the group is re-referencing thermal DFT to an infinitely interacting system, using the finite-temperature strictly correlated electron approach. Other projects in the group involve compositionally complex alloys, warm dense matter, and complicated ground and excited states.
