Research Summary
My research is split into two themes: development of novel computational approaches to electronic structure; and modelling of semiconductor systems using these techniques. In recent years I have also become interested in apply electronic structure techniques to biological systems.Site-Dependent Ambipolar Charge States Induced by Group V Atoms in a Silicon Surface
O(N) methods in electronic structure calculations
Protonated Carboxyl Anchor for Stable Adsorption of Ru N749 Dye (Black Dye) on a TiO2 Anatase (101) Surface
Coating TiO2 Anatase by Amorphous Al2O3: Effects on Dyes Anchoring Through Carboxyl Groups
Bi on the Si(001) surface
Effect of hydration of the TiO2 anatase (101) substrate on the atomic layer deposition of alumina films
Non-adiabatic simulations of current-related structural transformations in metallic nanodevices
Van der Waals density functionals applied to solids

Biography
I studied Natural Science at Clare College, Cambridge, reading Physics & Theoretical Physics in my final year. After a year's voluntary work, I spent two years working as a device physicist in a small industrial company specialising in modelling field effect transistors in GaAs. I then moved to the Department of Materials in Oxford University for my D. Phil.
After a year at Keele University, I moved to UCL in the summer of 1998 as a PDRA. I am now a Royal Society Research Fellow and Reader in Physics, working on electronic structure modelling of semiconductor surfaces, particularly one dimensional structures on these surfaces. I am also actively engaged in developing new techniques, at the moment looking at accurate modelling of large systems and non-adiabatic effects in conduction of nanostructures.
