Research Interests

Our research interests focus on the structural and mechanical properties of materials. We use a broad range of computational techniques ranging from ab-initio (DFT) methods, particle based molecular dynamics/Monte Carlo, to dynamical density fields and phenomenological models to understand matter in and out of equilibrium. Research highlights in the 2015/16 academic year include the development of a multiscale QM/MM method to compute the interaction of solutes with grain boundaries, studies of plastic deformation of nanostructured triblock copolymers, and a new understanding of the role of inertia in the plastic flow of amorphous solids.
