He was the longest-serving Editor-in-Chief of the London-based journal Molecular Physics (1995-2005). He was also the longest-serving President of the World Association of Theoretical and Computational Chemists, from 1996 to 2005.
During the comprehensive period 1981-1997, Professor Schaefer was the sixth most highly cited chemist in the world out of a total of 628,000 chemists whose research was cited. The Science Citation Index reports that by December 31, 2006, his research had been cited more than 39,000 times. His research involves the use of state-of-the-art computational hardware and theoretical methods to solve important problems in molecular quantum mechanics.
At the University of Georgia, Professor Schaefer teaches a popular two-credit freshman seminar each year entitled Science and Christianity: Conflict or Coherence? Dr. Schaefer's book with the same title had its third printing in March 2004 and reached position #84 the same month on the best-selling list of Amazon.com.
Henry F. (Fritz) Schaefer is one of the most distinguished physical scientists in the world. He is a five-time nominee for the Nobel Prize, and one of the most highly cited scientists in the world being the author of more than 1500 scientific publications, with a large majority appearing in the Journal of Chemical Physics and the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
He has delivered endowed lectures at more than 50 major universities. He is the recipient of twenty honorary degrees and was the longest-serving Editor-in-Chief of the London-based journal Molecular Physics (1995-2005). He was also the longest-serving President of the World Association of Theoretical and Computational Chemists, from 1996 to 2005. His service to the chemical community includes the chairmanship of the American Chemical Society’s Subdivision of Theoretical Chemistry (1982) and Division of Physical Chemistry (1992). At the 228th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society (Philadelphia, August 2004) the Division of Computers in Chemistry and the Division of Physical Chemistry co-sponsored a four-day Symposium in Honor of Henry F. Schaefer’s 60th Birthday. The book Theory and Applications of Computational Chemistry: The First Forty Years(Elsevier) was published in 2005 in honor of Professor Schaefer.

2016Henry F. Schaefer III is a devoted Protestant Christian, he is also a Christian educator and a member of the Christian Faculty Forum at the University of Georgia.
Schaefer is also known as a student of the relationship between science and religion. His continuously evolving lecture "The Big Bang, Stephen Hawking, and God" appears in many locations and in several languages on the worldwide web. This lecture has been one of the most popular articles about science on the web in recent years, as discussed in Michael White and John Gribbin's best selling biography of Professor Hawking.
Schaefer said: "I’m continuing to discover new wonders in my Christian life. Each day is a journey in my faith. This life with Jesus began at the moment of conversion in 1973, will continue in death, and then on to eternity. I’m also sure of one thing; Jesus isn’t interested only in extracting a prayer of submission from me. He wants to change my whole life."
Henry F. Schaefer III is a Republican.
Schaefer’s research focuses on developing new theoretical and computational methods to solve important problems in chemistry. Among his research contributions are the discovery of the bent structure of triplet methylene, the development of the Z-vector method simplifying certain calculations of correlated systems. A wide body of work undertaken in his research group on the geometries, properties, and reactions of chemical systems using highly accurate ab initio quantum chemical techniques. Many of these papers have predicted or forced a reinterpretation of, experimental results.
To solve problems in molecular quantum mechanics, Schaefer research group uses the theoretical method and computational hardware.
Quotations:
"The significance and joy in my science come in those occasional moments of discovering something new and saying to myself, 'So that's how God did it.' My goal is to understand a little corner of God's plan."
"A Creator must exist. The Big Bang ripples and subsequent scientific findings are clearly pointing to an ex nihilo creation consistent with the first few verses of the book of Genesis."
"If Jesus remained dead, how can you explain the reality of the Christian church and its phenomenal growth in the first three centuries of the Christian era? Christ's church covered the Western world in the fourth century. A religious movement built on a lie could not have accomplished that... All the power of Rome and of the religious establishment in Jerusalem was geared to stop the Christian faith. All they had to do was to dig up the grave and to present the corpse. They didn't."
"It is relatively unusual that a physical scientist is truly an atheist. Why is this true? Some point to the anthropic constraints, the remarkable fine-tuning of the universe. For example, Freeman Dyson, a Princeton faculty member, has said, 'Nature has been kinder to us that we had any right to expect.'"
Henry F. Schaefer III is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and American Science Affiliation. He is also a member of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science, American Chemical Society (chairman division physical chemistry 1992), World Association of Theoretically Oriented Chemists (president since 1996). he is an honorary fellow of the Chemical Research Society of India.
Henry Frederick Schaefer III is a gifted lecturer, he has traveled all around the world with his lectures on religion and science.
Henry F. Schaefer III met his future bride, Karen Rasmussen, during his junior year of high school. Karen was one year behind him, and they dated a few times but remained little more than friends until he was home for the summer after his second year of college. Fritz was taking a summer course in German at nearby Calvin College when Karen's father hired him to tutor her brother in calculus. In Fritz's mind, this was "the opportunity of a lifetime" and he took full advantage, staying late every evening after his tutoring duties were complete to get to know her better.
He married Karen Regine Rasmussen on September 2, 1966. They has five children: Charlotte, Pierre, Theodore, Rebecca, Caleb.
Fritz's father had a profound impact on his life, not the least being his devotion to his family and the strong work ethic he instilled in all three of his children. He was a native of Grand Rapids and a childhood friend to a neighbor who would eventually become president, Gerald Ford. Fritz's father completed his undergraduate studies at the depths of the Great Depression, and so had to find whatever job he could muster. His belief in the virtue of hard work paid off, though, and he gradually worked his way up in the American Seating Company from sweeping the factory floor to a job that allowed him to take advantage of his engineering degree: designing seats for US combat planes during World War II. By the time he took early retirement in 1968, he had advanced through the company to become one of its highest-ranking executives.
In January 1975, Fritz began what has become a life-long tradition of visits to Professor Leo Radom in Australia, to which he has traveled 20 times since.
