Research interests

My research is mainly on the theory of semiconductors using ab initio atomistic computer modelling methods.  Research areas include; theory of growth and defects in semiconductors (e.g. silicon); hydrogen bonding in water and other molecules; theory of diamond, graphite, and fullerenes; and ab initio computer modelling of chemical reactions.  Other work includes modelling defects in intermetallic materials such as Fe-Al.  Much of this work is performed on local UNIX workstations, and national facilities.
