Kenny, Steven - Loughborough University

个人简介

Steven read for a degree in Physics at Imperial College between 1989 and 1992. He then carried out his PhD in the Department of Physics at Cambridge University, between 1992 and 1995. Following his PhD he held the position of PDRA in the Department of Earth Sciences in Oxford University for a year, followed by two years as a Research Fellow and three years as a Departmental Lecturer in the Department of Materials, Oxford University. In May 2001 he took up a Lectureship at Loughborough University. In June 2005 he was promoted to a Senior Lecturer, in February 2008 to a Reader and in June 2014 to a personal chair

研究领域

Steven’s main research area is the development and application of materials modelling techniques, particularly at the atomic scale. Work includes the simulation of the growth of thin films, and in particular those of relevance to thin film photovoltaic devices. The interest is to model the growth of the thin films on realistic timescales so that the influence of parameters such as the deposition energy and the composition on the morphology of the film can be understood. Other areas include the modelling of radiation damage in materials; this is of critical importance for the next generation of fission reactors and to address the issue of materials for fusion reactors. Here the interest is to understand the long timescale evolution of radiation damage in these systems, to enable the design of new more radiation tolerant materials to enable longer reactor lifetimes
