Leverhulme Early Career Fellow
University College London
I am a Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Chemistry at University College London. I completed my DPhil in Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Oxford in 2021, working with Prof. Andrew Goodwin on identifying structural analogues of complex magnetic phases. Following my DPhil, I joined the Department of Chemistry at Imperial College London as a postdoctoral researcher with Prof. Kim Jelfs, where I developed coarse-grained methods for predicting the crystalline phase behaviour of molecular materials, focusing on porous molecular materials. I later moved to the Department of Materials at Imperial as an Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI Postdoctoral Research Fellow. I am now a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow in the Department of Chemistry at University College London.
My research focuses on developing simple models to improve our understanding of the structural phase behaviour of materials. These simple models can create data quickly and at minimal computational cost, making it possible to generate large amounts of data. By manipulating the parameters of the models, we can determine how changing the chemical features of molecules affects their solid-state structure, informing design rules for targeted crystal structures.
Using coarse-grained models, I work on the structural prediction of a wide range of molecular materials, with a central focus of porous materials and organic electronic devices. For more information please see the Research page.
