Research interests
I am a theoretical physicist and computational materials scientist, working in the areas of electronic structure, alloy theory, and magnetism. I use density functional theory (DFT) calculations, atomistic models, and tools from statistical physics to analyse the physics of a range of technologically relevant materials. Most broadly, I am interested in the physics of materials for energy applications. Recent classes of systems on which I have worked include high-entropy alloys and rare-earth-free permanent magnets.
