Academic Achievements
- Develops multiscale materials modelling algorithms and the software that implements them, with a particular focus on machine learning and data-driven approaches, and on quantifying the uncertainty in the output of electronic structure and atomistic models. Also active in applying parameter-free modelling techniques to make quantitative predictions of 'chemomechanical' materials failure processes where stress and chemistry are tightly coupled, e.g. near the tip of a propagating crack. Prominent examples include: QM-accurate modelling of dislocations; Machine Learning a General Purpose Interatomic Potential for Silicon.
Research Experience
- Assistant Professor at the School of Engineering, University of Warwick from 2014-2016; Associate Professor from 2016-2019; Reader from 2019-2022; Professor of Materials Modelling from 2022-present; Director of the Warwick Centre for Predictive Modelling (WCPM) from 2021-present; Head of Research (Deputy Head of School) at the School of Engineering, University of Warwick from 2024-2025; Director of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Modelling of Heterogeneous Systems (HetSys) from 2023-present; Research Cluster Leader for the Predictive Modelling cluster from 2025-present.
Education
- PhD in the TCM Group at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge from 2004-2007; Postdoc in the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge from 2007-2008; Postdoc in the Department of Physics at King's College London from 2009-2014.
