CDT- NGCM Seminar with Andrew Lawson Andrew was an ICSS student at the University of Southampton; ICSS was the predecessor to CDT-NGCM. Andrew finished his PhD in Southampton in 2017, working with Prof Christopher Sachrajda and Dr Andreas Juttner. His thesis was titled ‘Exploratory Lattice QCD Studies of Rare Kaon …
On 13 June 2019, Dr Edward Richardson from the Aerodynamics and Flight Mechanics group gave a talk on modelling turbulent reacting flow within the context of combustion. Dr Richardson’s research involves reactive and multi-phase turbulent flows, with application focused towards gas turbines and internal combustion engines. He is also involved …
On 16th May 2019, Chris Skylaris gave an hour-long seminar regarding his work on the cutting edge of scaling quantum computational chemistry simulations to cope with the demand of more complex systems. Here, we present a summary of his presentation. High performance computing (HPC) has enabled the advancement of computational …
On the 9th of May, Professor Syma Khalid presented a seminar on her research group’s efforts to develop and utilise computational models of biomimetic nanopores in order to sequence single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). The research was performed in collaboration with Oxford Nanopore Technologies; a company who manufacture a variety of DNA …
On Thursday 2 May, Dr Denis Kramer, Associate Professor within Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton, gave a seminar on novel materials for energy storage and the modelling approaches used to predict their characteristics. This research is motivated by environmental concerns arising from our massive use of …
On Thursday 28th March at 12:30 a one-hour seminar was delivered by Professor Andreas Jüttner. This blog will attempt to cover some of the key insights delivered during the talk as concisely as possible. The seminar started with the big bang. A brief history of the universe was outline, including …
Dr. Peter Horak, a co-director of the NGCM from the Optoelectronics Research Centre at the University of Southampton, delivered a talk on the 21 March 2019 on his research in optical fibres. Dr. Horak introduced their uses, modelling them, and the challenges faced. Optical fibres are thin strands of glass …
Dr Ondrej Hovorka came in on 21th November to give a seminar on the atomistic modelling of magnetic nanoparticles which are used in biomedical applications, primarily in destroying cancer cells using hyperthermia. In other words, by inducing an increase in body temperature to 42 – 45°C for 30 minutes in …
Presentation by Professor Christian Knigge On Tuesday 3 July 2018, Professor Christian Knigge (School of Physics and Astronomy – University of Southampton) gave a talk to the 4th cohort of NGCM students on modelling Quasars by unification via disk winds. Quasars (Quasi Stellar Objects) are rapidly accreting supermassive black holes …
Presentation by Dr Gabriel Weymouth On Tuesday 12 June, Dr Gabriel Weymouth, Associate Professor for the Marine and Maritime Institute at the University of Southampton, gave a seminar on advancements in fluid simulation software and the biologically-inspired engineering designs this has enabled. This research is motivated by recent interest in …
