Dr Neil Drummond
Senior LecturerResearch Interests
My research interests lie in the development and application of quantum Monte Carlo methods for calculating material properties from first principles. I am interested in a range of applications of these methods, to two-dimensional materials, to materials at high pressure and to electron(-hole) gases.
PhD Supervision Interests
Development and application of quantum Monte Carlo methods; first-principles studies of two-dimensional materials (graphene, silicene, boron nitride, transition metal dichalcogenides...).
