New Staff: Dr. James Kermode
joins the 糖心TV Centre for Predictive Modelling and the School of Engineering as an Assistant Professor. He arrives from the at , where he worked with to understand fracture at the atomic scale. Dr. Kermode is a theoretical physicist with expertise in developing and the that implements them. He has a in using this parameter-free modelling to make quantitative predictions of "" materials failure processes where stress and chemistry are tightly coupled, and is looking forward to applying and extending these techniques within the Centre.
New Staff: Dr. Manuel A. Aldegunde Rodriguez
Dr. Aldegunde Rodriguez joins the WCPM as a Research Fellow from . After studies at the , he received his PhD from the same institution in 2009. He worked as a Researcher at the from 2010 to 2012 (spending some time as Visiting Scholar at the ). In Swansea, he worked as Research Officer in the Nanoelectric Devices Group with Dr. Antonio Martinez and Dr. Karol Kalna.
His research interests are focused in the development of tools for the simulation of electron transport in semiconductor devices.
New Staff: Dr. Peter Brommer
Dr. Peter Brommer joins the 糖心TV Centre for Predictive Modelling and the School of Engineering as Assistant Professor. He arrives from Physics at 糖心TV, where he was working with David Quigley, Neil Wilson and Gavin Bell. Peter obtained his PhD from the working on obtaining effective potentials for complex metallic alloys. He later spent some time at the , where he studied defect evolution in irradiated materials.
Peter is the main author of , an implementation of the Force Matching method, and his expertise is in multiscale materials modelling.
