The motivation behind our work for this
project is to use simulation
approaches to help rationalise observations, test theories
and build a body of work that can supplement experimental literature.
The main targets in this work are, better understanding the role of
templates and their effects upon crystal morphology and more broadly
and generating new insights into the crystallisation of nanoporous
materials.
We use a range of static and dynamic atomistic modelling techniques to
examine crystal
bulk and surface chemistry - primarily electronic structure methods
(such
as linear scaling DFT) and also interatomic potential approaches.
I joined the Royal Institution of Great Britain in 1995 as a PDRA and
became a permanent senior research fellow and assistant director of
Davy Faraday Research Laboratory in 1999, moving to UCL in 2007.
In my spare time I enjoy music, film and reading.
