个人简介

MEng in Metallurgy and the Science of Materials from Oxford, PhD in Materials Science & Engineering from the UC Berkeley; Postdoc at LBNL and MIT Theory and simulation of materials, particularly computational design of materials and elucidation of structure-property relationships relating to mechanical thermal and transport properties of materials. Grew up in the UK. Likes to cook with xanthan gum. Once converted a motorcycle to run on wood.

研究领域

Using a combination of theory and simulation we aim to understand and address fundamental problems in materials science. We apply the understanding we gain towards designing materials that impact the way we live⏤smart materials for chemical sensing, nanostructured materials, and materials for energy efficiency. We believe that computationally based investigation is a true “third pillar” of science, and that when performed well can lead to new insights that are less easily attained by either theory and experiment alone. With the ever decreasing cost of computing power and rapid advances in algorithm development, the role of computation in scientific investigation is becoming ever more prominent. Currently our research interests are focused on thermal and mechanical properties of nanostructured materials and devices. This includes finding new ways of controlling heat and new ways of adding value to heat, as well as invention of new nanoscale devices and ways of computationally assessing such devices.
