Research Interests

The primary focus of work in my group is on the construction, development and application of relatively simple potential models.
The use of such models allows a wide range of systems, with potentially unique properties, to be accessed.
For example, present research in progress includes the study of the formation of low-dimensional crystal structures,
network-forming liquids and glasses, the extension of known phase diagrams, polyamorphism and
nanoparticle self-assembly.
