Project description

I’m using high performance computers to apply quantum mechanics to model material properties. The modelling is ab initio – that is, not requiring experimental input.

My research will use and extend density functional theory. It will calculate excited state properties of systems, specifically band gaps.

Interests

Quantum mechanics, solid-state physics, density functional theory.

Qualifications

  • BSc Theoretical Physics, Newcastle University (2019)
