| Description | Polymer systems evolve on various time - and length scales, and it is particularly hard to model this process using conventional experimental methods. Computer simulations can assist the understanding of these materials. In this work, we first looked at ways to estimate physical properties of polymer using computational methods, and published our findings (see link below). Secondly, effects on the atomistic scale were investigated, to find out how a molecules reaction capability changes in the process of polymerization. Results will soon be published. Finally, I am currently looking at ways to enable large-scale simulations that can be used to understand the origin of certain properties of materials. |
| Exploitation Route | Our work improves the quality and efficiency of computational simulation of polymers. The methods developed can be used to guide materials design and discovery. |

| Description | In the summer of 2019 I joined my co-funder company, BIOVIA (D'assault Systemes Cambridge) for an internship, to implement my findings in polymerisation modelling in their software package. |
