Abstract<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Modern methods for computing the properties of realistic materials from first principles (starting from quantum mechanics) have led to a creation of robust, efficient, and widely used computer codes. Coupled with the explosion of available computational resources, it has become possible to search though the vast space of compositions and arrangements of atoms to discover new materials with extreme properties.<\/p>\n

Professor Pickard\u2019s research helps the modern scientist \u201csee\u201d and discover the universe at the atomic scale through Quantum Mechanics \u2013 from the centres of giant exoplanets, to pharmaceutical compounds, new battery materials and high temperature superconductors. He is the inaugural Sir Alan Cottrell Professor of Materials Science in the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy, University of Cambridge. Previously he was Professor of Physics, University College London, and Reader in Physics, University of St Andrews. He has held EPSRC Fellowships, and a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award. He is a lead developer of CASTEP and introduced both the GIPAW approach to the prediction of NMR spectra and Ab Initio Random Structure Searching (AIRSS). In 2015 he won the Rayleigh Medal and Prize of the Institute of Physics, awarded for distinguished research in theoretical, mathematical or computational physics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
