Haynes, Peter - Imperial College London

个人简介

Peter is Professor of Theory and Simulation of Materials, a post held jointly between the departments of Materials and Physics and associated with the Thomas Young Centre. His research interests focus on the development of new linear-scaling methods for performing large-scale first-principles quantum-mechanical simulations and their application to materials science, nanotechnology and biological systems. He is an author of the ONETEP code and was awarded the Maxwell Medal and Prize for Computational Physics by the Institute of Physics in 2010. He is the Director of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Theory and Simulation of Materials, which offers at least ten funded PhD studentships each year. Peter studied Natural Sciences at Christ's College, Cambridge, specialising in Theoretical Physics, and completed his doctorate in the Theory of Condensed Matter group at the Cavendish Laboratory in 1998. After that he held the Thomas Nevile Research Fellowship at Magdalene College, the Ramon Jenkins Senior Research Fellowship at Sidney Sussex College and was a Royal Society University Research Fellow from 2005 until 2013. He joined Imperial College London in June 2007.

研究领域

Density-functional theory (DFT) is a quantum-mechanical theory that allows the properties of materials to be calculated from first principles or ab initio i.e. without making any prior assumptions about how the system under study should behave. This means it can even predict the properties of materials that have not yet been made. DFT is popular because it is sufficiently accurate for many purposes at a computational cost that is relatively cheap. The computational cost of conventional DFT calculations scales as the cube of the system-size, limiting traditional methods to a few hundred atoms. My research focuses on the development of linear-scaling methods, their implementation within the ONETEP code and their application to the study of nanoparticles and biological systems in particular. A distinctive feature of the ONETEP method is the optimization of local orbitals (as shown in a barium titanate crystal above) in a manner equivalent to the plane-wave pseudopotential method used in the most popular conventional DFT methods.
