Jörg Neugebauer, PhD Director, Computational Materials Design Department Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung GmbH Düsseldorf, Germany Professor Neugebauer's research focuses on developing ab initio simulation techniques and applying them to a broad range of materials science questions. His department uses simulation techniques spanning electronic structure, atomistic and mesoscopic approaches. He has worked on a range of topics, notably including optoelectronics, surface science, catalysis, crystal growth, metallurgy and molecular biology. A goal of his more recent work involves extending density functional theory calculations that have been originally developed for zero Kelvin towards a full inclusion of finite temperature effects. Julie B. Staunton, PhD Professor, Department of Physics, Director EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Modelling of Heterogeneous Systems University of Warwick Coventry, UK
Professor Julie Staunton's research interests are in ab initio magnetic materials modelling and she and collaborators developed the DFT-based `Disordered Local Moment' (DLM) theory of finite temperature magnetism. Her current projects, in which there is close collaboration with experiment, include those on rare earth - transition metal permanent magnets and caloric effects in magnetic materials. Since 2001 she has been a professor in the Theoretical Physics Group at the University of Warwick and is currently the Director of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Modelling of Heterogeneous Systems (HetSys) which trains people in computational modelling across a range of research themes such as nanoscale devices, catalysts, superalloys, smart fluids and laser-plasma interactions.
