My research is focused on the structures and properties of materials.
My group develops, optimises and employs state-of-the-art materials software that is based on atomic and electronic levels of theory (either semi-empirical or ab initio).
Funded Projects include: SAINT (the develop of the web-based Surface and Interface Toolkit); WASP@N (development of the database and software for nanoclusters, aka. web assisted structure prediction at the nanoscale); and development and application of a new interatomic potential for sp-lone pair atoms.
