| Abstract | Despite many spectacular successes, Density Functional Theory (DFT) within the widely used local or semi-local approximations for exchange-correlation energy fails to properly describe systems where long-range van der Waals interaction plays a dominant role. In this talk, after introducing the fundamentals of DFT method, I will review recent methodological developments to treat van der Waals interaction in DFT.
