Theory and Simulation of Materials
We have a strong expertise in a variety of theoretical tools applied to the nanoscale for applications ranging from emerging technologies to understanding the living world.
Many scientists working on materials modelling and theory at Imperial, as well as at the other London Universities, participate in the Thomas Young Centre - the London Centre for Theory and Simulation of Materials.

Professor, Chair in Materials Theory and Simulation, Department of Materials Research interest is in exploring the links between electronic structure of materials, the behaviour of their atoms, thermodynamic functions and the evolution of Microstructure. |
|
|
Professor, Chair of Computational Materials Science, Department of Chemistry Research interests lie in the area of quantum mechanical modelling of material properties with the aim of discovering new functional materials. |
|
|
Reader in the Theory & Simulation of Materials, Department of Materials Current research interests cover the dynamics of electrons out of equilibrium, and the thermodynamics of complex interfaces. |
|
|
Professor of Theory & Simulation of Materials, Head of Department, Department of Materials Research interests focus on the development of new linear-scaling methods forperforming large-scale first-principles quantum-mechanical simulations and their application to materials science, nanotechnology and biological systems. |
|
|
Assistant Director of the CDT in Theory and Simulation of Materials, and Director of the Thomas Young Centre for Theory and Simulation, Department of Materials Research is dedicated to the development and application of first-principles modelling tools for the theory and simulation of materials. |
