Jason Reese Chair of Multiscale Fluid Dynamics at the School of Engineering, University of Edinburgh. Interested in developing advanced simulation methods, including quantum computing, to model complex fluid flows and interfacial phenomena.

My research consists of the development and application of techniques to model semiconducting materials for energy and microelectronic applications. I focus on the role played by point defects, that is atoms missing from or in the ‘wrong’ positions in a crystal, which is key to the optical and electronic properties of semiconductors. I am particulary interested in how quantum computers can facilitate a step change in the power and accuracy of electronic structure calculations for realistic systems.

Dr Oliver Thomson Brown is a Chancellor’s Fellow at EPCC, the University of Edinburgh’s centre for supercomputing and data science.

Ivan leads the theoretical and computational modelling team in the quantum information processing group at NPL. The primary area of research is on the theoretical and computational modelling of nanoscale devices and on software development for both classical high performance computing architectures and for quantum computers. The used tools are mainly based on density functional theory (DFT) and the non-equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) formalism. Ivan is one of the main developers of the Smeagol quantum transport code.
